Genesis 6:17

Context
6:17 I am about to bring 1  floodwaters 2  on the earth to destroy 3  from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. 4  Everything that is on the earth will die,

Genesis 7:15

Context
7:15 Pairs 5  of all creatures 6  that have the breath of life came into the ark to Noah.

1 tn The Hebrew construction uses the independent personal pronoun, followed by a suffixed form of הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) and the a participle used with an imminent future nuance: “As for me, look, I am going to bring.”

2 tn Heb “the flood, water.”

3 tn The verb שָׁחָת (shakhat, “to destroy”) is repeated yet again, only now in an infinitival form expressing the purpose of the flood.

4 tn The Hebrew construction here is different from the previous two; here it is רוּחַ חַיִּים (ruakh khayyim) rather than נֶפֶשׁ הַיָּה (nefesh khayyah) or נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים (nishmat khayyim). It refers to everything that breathes.

5 tn Heb “two two” meaning “in twos.”

6 tn Heb “flesh.”
