Genesis 8: 7-.........And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Noah first sent out a raven, and it just flew back and forth. Noah then sent out a dove, which returned to the ark, and he waited seven days. Noah then sent out the dove again, and it returned with an olive branch. He waited seven more days, and sent out the dove again, and this time, it did not return.
First a raven then a dove.Noah sent out a raven but it did not return to the ark. He then sent out a dove; this bird returned and was then sent out again a week later. The second time the bird returned it had a branch/leaf in its mouth. Another week later he sent the dove out again and it did not come back.
An oxymoron. Oxymorons are figures of speech that combine contradictory terms for effect, such as "jumbo shrimp" or "deafening silence." In this case, "dove feathered raven" juxtaposes the gentle imagery of a dove with the dark connotations of a raven.
It is a water basin...
It was a dove, that did not return to Noah.
Noah sent out a raven first, followed by a dove. A week later, another dove was released:Genesis 8:7-9 (KJV)7:And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8:Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
No. Noah first sent forth a raven in Genesis 8:7, then a dove in 8:8.
In the book of Genesis, 8th Chapter, Noah send out a bird on three separate occasions to see if the water had abated from off the earth. The first and second times were doves while the third was a raven.
He sent out a raven first then a dove. Time passed between the two.
Raven + dove
As the floods subsided, the ship came to a halt on Mount Nisir. After another seven days Utnapishtim set free a dove, but it came back. Then he set free a swallow, which also came back. Next he set free a raven. The raven went forth and, seeing that the waters had diminished, he did not come back. Then Utnapishtim let out (all) to the four winds and offered a sacrifice.
There were two the raven and the dove.
