cuz he felt like it
To get to the other side.
It wasn't God that sent out the bird after the flood. It was Noah. First he sent out a raven, and later he sent out a dove.
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.
It was a dove, that did not return to Noah.
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.
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.
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;
According to the Holy Bible( Genesis 7:7 )Noah & his wife, their 3 sons & their wives( making 8 in all ), entered into the Ark!
There were two the raven and the dove.
Since Noah emerged from the ark in Ararat, we may surmise that the ark was not very far from there when he sent the raven and the dove. Today, Mount Ararat is near the intersection of the borders of Turkey, Armenia and Iran. Georgia and Azerbaijan are not very far away.
