Gen 8:1-14. Assuaging of the waters.

And God remembered Noah - The divine purpose in this awful dispensation had been accomplished, and the world had undergone those changes necessary to fit it for becoming the residence of man under a new economy of Providence.

and every living thing ... in the ark - a beautiful illustration of Mat 10:29.

and God made a wind to pass over the earth - Though the divine will could have dried up the liquid mass in an instant, the agency of a wind was employed (Psa 104:4) - probably a hot wind, which, by rapid evaporation, would again absorb one portion of the waters into the atmosphere; and by which, the other would be gradually drained off by outlets beneath.
