After forty days The phrase "after forty days" signifies a period of testing, trial, and preparation in the Bible. The number forty is often associated with significant events, such as the forty days and nights of rain during the flood, the forty years the Israelites wandered in the desert, and the forty days Jesus fasted in the wilderness. In Hebrew, the number forty (ארבעים, "arba'im") symbolizes a period of probation or trial. Here, it marks the completion of the flood's initial phase and the beginning of a new chapter for Noah and his family. It is a time of anticipation and hope, as Noah prepares to see the results of God's promise to preserve life. Noah opened the window he had made in the ark (1) because the species of bird is intended to be indicated (Kalisch), or (2) because there was only one male raven in the ark, the raven being among the unclean birds (Leviticus 11:15; Deuteronomy 14:14; Lunge); but against this is "the dove" (per. 8); or (3) because it had come to be well known from this particular circumstance (Keil). Its peculiar fitness for the mission imposed on it lay in its being a bird of prey, and therefore able to sustain itself by feeding on carrion (Proverbs 30:17). To the incident here recorded is doubtless to be traced the prophetic character which in the ancient heathen world, and among the Arabians in particular, was supposed to attach to this ominous bird. Which went to and fro. Literally, and it went forth going and returning, i.e. flying backwards and forwards, from the ark and to the ark, perhaps resting on it, but not entering into it (Calvin, Willet, Ainsworth, Keil, Kalisch, Lunge, Bush, 'Speaker's Commentary'); though some have conceived that it no more returned to the ark, but kept flying to and fro throughout the earth (LXX., "καὶ ἐξελθὼν οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν;" Vulgate, "qui egrediebatur et non revertebatur;" Alford, "it is hardly probable that it returned;" Murphy, "it did not need to return"). Until the waters were dried up from off the earth. When of course its return was unnecessary. Cf. for a similar form of expression 2 Samuel 6:23. Whether it entirely disappeared at the first, or continued hovering round the ark, Noah was unable from its movements to arrive at any certain conclusion as to the condition of the earth, and accordingly required to adopt another expedient, which he did in the mission of the dove.
