Genesis 8:13
"He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more."
Key Reflection
This verse symbolizes the certainty of divine providence and the permanence of God's provision for Noah and his family after the flood. The return of the dove twice in seven-day intervals suggested uncertainty, but its failure to return this time affirmed that the land was safe for them to emerge.
