Genesis 8:10

8:10 He waited seven more days and then sent out the dove again from the ark.

Genesis 8:12

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


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

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.
