GENESIS—NOTE ON Genesis 8:1 God remembered Noah. When the Bible says that God “remembers” someone or that he remembers his covenant with someone, it means he is about to act for that person’s welfare (see Genesis 9:15; Genesis 19:29; Genesis 30:22; Exodus 2:24; Exodus 32:13). God proceeds to renew everything, echoing what he did in Genesis 1:1. God made a wind blow over the earth. The Hebrew word for “wind” is also sometimes translated “Spirit” (e.g., Genesis 1:2; Genesis 6:3).
