Noah Enters the Ark Excerpt Noah is given a week’s warning before the flood begins. The Hebrew word for “rain” in  verse 4  is different than the word for “rain” in  verse 12 . That used in  verse 12  designates a heavy downpour. The rain of  verse 4  is no shower—it is to last forty days and forty nights. Noah does what God says ( vv.  7–9 ) and God fulfills his word ( v.  10 ). As the flood starts ( 7:11–16 ), again we find the deliberate use of repetition and summarization. This is a characteristic of epic composition. Note: the flood ( v.  6 ); entry into the ark ( vv.  7–9 ); the flood ( vv.  10–12 ); entry into the ark ( vv.  13–16 ). Actually, there are two references to the flood’s beginning:  verse 10  and  verse 11 . The additional data given in  verse 11  are about the two sources of the rain: the springs of the great deep and the floodgates of heaven. But the following verse r...
