Genesis 8:12

8:12 He waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, 1  but it did not return to him this time. 2 

Genesis 21:4

21:4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, 3  Abraham circumcised him just as God had commanded him to do. 4 

1 tn The word “again” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “it did not again return to him still.” For a study of this section of the flood narrative, see W. O. E. Oesterley, “The Dove with the Olive Leaf (Gen VIII 8–11),” ExpTim 18 (1906/07): 377-78.

3 tn Heb “Isaac his son, the son of eight days.” The name “Isaac” is repeated in the translation for clarity.

4 sn Just as God had commanded him to do. With the birth of the promised child, Abraham obeyed the Lord by both naming (Gen 17:19) and circumcising Isaac (17:12).
