Genesis 8:14

Context
8:14 And by the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth 4  was dry.

1 tn Heb “on/in the seventh day.”

2 tn Heb “his work which he did [or “made”].”

3 tn The Hebrew term שָׁבַּת (shabbat) can be translated “to rest” (“and he rested”) but it basically means “to cease.” This is not a rest from exhaustion; it is the cessation of the work of creation.

4 tn In v. 13 the ground (הָאֲדָמָה, haadamah) is dry; now the earth (הָאָרֶץ, haarets) is dry.
