Originale inglese
Ge 7:1-24.
ENTRANCE INTO THE ARK.
1. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark--The ark was finished; and Noah now, in the spirit of implicit faith, which had influenced his whole conduct, waited for directions from God.

2, 3. 凡洁净的畜类……飞鸟——每一物种的动物，除了深海的居住者外，都要取一对，以保存各自的种类。这是入园的通则，只是对于称为“洁净”的动物，无论是牲畜还是飞鸟，都要取三对；理由是：待地更新之后，它们作为食物或在人服事中的用途，使其迅速繁殖乃头等重要之事。但那第七只是作何用呢？显然是留作献祭之用；这样，在挪亚住在方舟里以及他回到旱地之后，敬拜之礼按堕落之人的宗教而行的需要便得了供应。他并没有像许多人那样把信仰撇在身后。他在漫长的航程中也为信仰作了预备。
Originale inglese
2, 3. Of every clean beast . . . fowls--Pairs of every species of animals, except the tenants of the deep, were to be taken for the preservation of their respective kinds. This was the general rule of admission, only with regard to those animals which are styled "clean," three pairs were to be taken, whether of beasts or birds; and the reason was that their rapid multiplication was a matter of the highest importance, when the earth should be renovated, for their utility either as articles of food or as employed in the service of man. But what was the use of the seventh? It was manifestly reserved for sacrifice; and so that both during Noah's residence in the ark, and after his return to dry land, provision was made for celebrating the rites of worship according to the religion of fallen man. He did not, like many, leave religion behind. He provided for it during his protracted voyage.

4. 因为再过七天——给世界悔改的七天！何等庄严的停顿！他们还在嗤笑愚弄他吗？那眼见并心感人类罪恶与悖逆之全数的主，已经告诉我们他们如何放荡不顾
(Lu 17:27)。
Originale inglese
4. For yet seven days--A week for a world to repent! What a solemn pause! Did they laugh and ridicule his folly still? He whose eyes saw and whose heart felt the full amount of human iniquity and perverseness has told us of their reckless disregard
(Lu 17:27).

9. 都是一对一对地进去——它们无疑受神的冲动所引导。其数目不会如初看时所想象的那么大。据计算，飞鸟走兽不同的物种不过三百种；形式、大小、颜色上的无数变种，都可溯于气候和其他环境的影响。
Originale inglese
9. There went in two and two--Doubtless they were led by a divine impulse. The number would not be so large as at first sight one is apt to imagine. It has been calculated that there are not more than three hundred distinct species of beasts and birds, the immense varieties in regard to form, size, and color being traceable to the influence of climate and other circumstances.

16. 耶和华把他关在里面——直译“四面围着他遮盖”。“把他关在里面”表明挪亚已成了神特别看顾保护的对象，而对于外面的人，恩典的时期已经过去了
(Mt 25:10)。
Originale inglese
16. and the Lord shut him in--literally, "covered him round about." The "shutting him in" intimated that Noah had become the special object of divine care and protection, and that to those without the season of grace was over
(Mt 25:10).

17. 水势浩大，把方舟浮起——方舟似乎被渐渐抬起，连其中居住的人都几乎觉察不到。
Originale inglese
17. the waters increased, and bare up the ark--It seems to have been raised so gradually as to be scarcely perceptible to its occupants.

20. 水势比山高十五肘——即最高的山顶以上二十二英尺半。这样的说法与局部洪水论是不相符的。
Originale inglese
20. Fifteen cubits upward . . . and the mountains were covered--twenty-two and a half feet above the summits of the highest hills. The language is not consistent with the theory of a partial deluge.

21. 凡有血肉的……飞鸟……牲畜……和爬行的物都死了——在神行事的程序中，当审判临到地上时，将一切与祂怒中所针对之有罪对象相关的事物都包括在内，这始终是一项一贯的原则
(Ge 19:25； 出 9:6)。
此外，如今人类既已减少到只剩一个家庭，野兽也必须相应减少，否则它们将凭数目优势辖制并压倒那少数将要重新繁衍世界的人。可见恩慈与严厉相掺；耶和华以智慧施行审判，并在怒中记念怜悯。
Originale inglese
21. all flesh died . . . fowl . . . cattle, and . . . creeping thing--It has been a uniform principle in the divine procedure, when judgments were abroad on the earth, to include every thing connected with the sinful objects of His wrath
(Ge 19:25; Ex 9:6).
Besides, now that the human race was reduced to one single family, it was necessary that the beasts should be proportionally diminished, otherwise by their numbers they would have acquired the ascendancy and overmastered the few that were to repeople the world. Thus goodness was mingled with severity; the Lord exercises judgment in wisdom and in wrath remembers mercy.

24. 一百五十天——共五个月。虽然在那之前一切活物早已淹死，洪水如此长久延续，乃是要显明神对罪和罪人严厉的不悦。试想挪亚在这样危机中的情形。我们得知
(结 14:14)，
他是个常常生活在敬虔气氛中的人；他既在这高格调的信心操练中以神为避难所，便"虽然水匉訇翻腾、虽受搅动，虽然山因海涨而摇动"也不惧怕
[诗 46:3]。
Originale inglese
24. an hundred and fifty days--a period of five months. Though long before that every living creature must have been drowned, such a lengthened continuance of the flood was designed to manifest God's stern displeasure at sin and sinners. Think of Noah during such a crisis. We learn
(Eze 14:14)
that he was a man who lived and breathed habitually in an atmosphere of devotion; and having in the exercise of this high-toned faith made God his refuge, he did not fear "though the waters roared and were troubled; though the mountains shook with the swelling thereof"
[Ps 46:3].
Ge 7:1-24.
进入方舟。
1. 耶和华对挪亚说，你和你的全家都要进入方舟——方舟已经造好了；挪亚此时本着他素来行事的那单纯信心之灵，等候神的指示。
