旧约 - 创世记（Genesis）第7章

And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

创世记第七章　　第 7 章　

　　创 7 章 > 7 章　每种动物都有一对随着挪亚进入方舟，而用于献祭的“洁净”的动物每种有七对。学者估计大概有四万五千种动物进入方舟之中。　

　　创 7:16> 挪亚的事件，说明神与人同工──我能深信不疑且将不能控制的事放心交托神吗？　

　　7:16　许多人会惊讶，挪亚怎样把这些动物赶进方舟之中。难道挪亚父子花好几年来集合所有的动物吗？实际上，所有的受造物包括挪亚在内，都是照神的吩咐而行，因此把动物集中到方舟中应该不成问题；神会处理这些细节，而挪亚只需做好其本分──建造方舟。然而我们却常因担心一些自己不能控制的枝节问题，而忽略了一些特殊的、我们可以控制的范畴，例如：态度、关系、责任等。我们要像挪亚那样，专心做神吩咐我们做的事，别的事就让神去处理吧。　

　　创 7:17-24> 神应许不再用洪水毁灭全地，祂今天又给了我什么应许？　

　　7:17-24　这次洪水究竟是只淹没某个地区，还是淹没全世界呢？普世性的洪水是极有可能的，当时的水也足以淹没所有的旱地，因为地起先也是由水退而成（ 1:9-10 ）。后来神应许不再用洪水毁灭全地，所以这次的洪水若不是淹没全地，也必毁灭了地上所有的生物。别忘了神让洪水来，是要除灭地上的一切邪恶，这就需要特大的洪水来完成。──《灵修版圣经注释》　

七1 本节中“进入”一词首次出现——一次满有恩典的福音邀请：“进入安全的方舟” 　　七2～18 神吩咐挪亚把每种动物都带一对进入方舟，而用于献祭的“洁净”的动物每种要带七对，有学者估计大概有四万五千种动物进入方舟之中。圣经没有说明为什么挪亚要带七对洁净的畜粪，却只带一对不洁净的畜类进入方舟。或者是用作食物，和献祭备用的洁净畜类（参看八20）。大雨降临之前，人畜在方舟内住了七天，地底储存的水涌出。大雨持续了四十昼夜。在圣经中“四十”这数字意指检定或验证。

　　许多人会惊讶，挪亚怎样把这些动物赶进方舟之中。难道挪亚父子花好几年来集合所有的动物吗？实际上，所有的受造物包括挪亚在内，都是照神的吩咐而行，因此把动物集中到方舟中应该不成问题；神会处理这些细节，而挪亚只需做好其本分──建造方舟。然而我们却常因担心一些自己不能控制的枝节问题，而忽略了一些特殊的、我们可以控制的范畴，例如：态度、关系、责任等。我们要像挪亚那样，专心做神吩咐我们做的事，别的事就让神去处理吧。

　　七 19～24 洪水是地域性的吗？有人认为这样。细想以下几点：天下的高山都淹没了（19节）。神不用命挪亚兴建一只相等于一个半足球场的长度，和八百个火车皮的容量的方舟，来逃避一次地域性的洪水。神能够轻易把八个人和动物迁移到另一处。全地的洪水传说来自世界各地。阿拉腊山高达一万七千英尺。水势比山高过十五肘（19，20节）。有什么奇迹可使地域性的洪水有这样的水势？在创世记九章15节，神应许水不再泛滥毁灭凡有血肉的活物。此后，有很多地域性的水灾，但不再有全地的水灾。洪水若是地域性的，神的诺言就粉碎了——一个不可能的总结。彼得利用洪水毁灭世界作记号，预示将来有火焚烧毁灭全地（彼后三6）

　　神在他的烈怒中，仍然不忘记他的伶悯。由于人在地上罪恶甚大，使神不得不施行洪水的审判。然而却有一艘绝对安全的方舟，漂浮在洪水之上。方舟里面有八个人，他们在方舟中极其稳妥，因为是神把他们关在方舟里。他们所以能在方舟里，因为他们信靠神，并且顺从了神的话。方舟是基督的写照。洪水描绘神的审判。主耶稣在各各他山走进神忿怒的大水之下。在基督里的人得救，在基督以外的灭亡。（参看彼前三21）

第七章

7:1 “你和你的全家都要进入…”是神向人发出的第一个拯救的呼唤，叫人来到祂那里。这恩典的召唤不断出现在全部圣经中，直到最后一页（启22:17）。新约用三种方法引用并讲解这次洪水。1.主耶稣说，挪亚的时代如何，世界末期也如何（太24:37-39；路17:26-27）。2.挪亚是靠着信心得救的例证（来11:7）。3.洪水是水礼的预表（彼前3:19-21）。

圣经没有讲明洪水淹没的范围，“全地”、“天下”这些字眼（7:17-24）的含义，可以只指当时所知的世界，像中国人所说的“四海”和“天下”。关于洪水的范围主要有两种说法，一是普世性，一是地区性。不过神与挪亚所立之约是关乎全人类而且永远不变的（9:12-17）。

7:11 水从天空的大雨和地下的水源汹涌而来，突破了神当日设定的界限，形成无边无际的大洪水。

7-8章所记洪水期间的月分，很可能是在挪亚六百岁的那一年，从他出生的月分算起，并且是用每个月三十天来计算的（7:24注）。洪水发生的时间表如下：1.挪亚六百岁的二月十七日：洪水暴发(7:11)。2.三月二十六日：四十天的大雨（7:12；比较7:17)。3.七月十六日：大水泛滥了一百五十天（7:24；比较8:3)。4.七月十七日：方舟着陆亚拉腊山（8:4)。5.十月一日：陆地的山顶显露(8:5)。6.十一月十日：放出乌鸦（8:6-7)。7.十一月十七日：放出鸽子（8: 8 )。8.十一月二十四日：鸽子叼叶子回来（8:10-11)。9.十二月一日：鸽子放出不复返(8:12)。10.挪亚六百零一岁的一月一日：地面干了（8: 13）。11.二月二十七日：挪亚出方舟（8:14以下）。挪亚全家在方舟之内共住了371天。

7:24 从“一百五十天”的数字可以看出，当时采用一个月三十天的计算方法。一百五十天就是五个整月。比较7:11；8:4。在150天之后，洪水到达最高点，其中开头的四十天是大雨连续下降期（7:12）。

雨停水退．挪亚最初放出去的是一只乌鸦。用一只能而耐苦又比鸽子容易生存的鸟去探最早的大地的消息．是挪亚的智能。乌鸦没有回来，靠大水中死去的生物已可生存，告诉挪亚“地上的水都干了”。
