Genesis 8:9

And the dove has not found a resting place for the palm of her foot,312 and she is turning back toward him, toward the Chest, for the dual-waters are upon the faces of the whole of the Earth, and he is sending forth his hand, and he is taking313 אֶת-her, and is causing to come in herself toward him, toward the Chest.314


Footnote:

313

Hebrew, laqach, to take. See note on Genesis 3:20. The Spirit is roaming around to and fro looking for a place for her foot. In Jeremiah 5:1 Yahweh says, “Rove to and fro outside of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, that I may pardon her.”
