After the rains, as the flood waters receded, the raven was the first that Noah sent out on a reconnaissance mission.
Why the raven ? His reason for that choice isn't mentioned in the text, but I'd suggest for your that it could have been because ravens live very well off of carrion, of which plenty was laying around as the waters receded and the land was revealed.
Noah first sent out the raven to see if there was any dry land, but it came back.
When the rain was subsiding and Noah wanted to find out if there was any dry land around. He then released the raven first, hoping it would return with some thing of hope for Moah dry land.
It was a dove, that did not return to Noah.
A raven.
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.
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.
There were two the raven and the dove.
cuz he felt like it
No. Noah first sent forth a raven in Genesis 8:7, then a dove in 8:8.
He sent out a raven first then a dove. Time passed between the two.
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.
