*Noah sens a raven and a dove and after many attempts of sending them out/back again is able to confirm dry land is near!
8:1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
God did not forget Noah and all of the people/livestock with him! God knows ALL; therefore, this is written to stress that God paid attention to, fulfilled a promise and acted on behalf of his people!
8:20
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and cleanbirds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
After a year (and some odd days) Noah and his family came off the ark and Noah worshipped the Lord!
21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though[a] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
God reaffirms natural order and foreshadows to his promise of no more floods to destroy ALL flesh.
