耶和華的事，私用沒有版權

1. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals which were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

2. Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

3. And the waters receded from off the earth continually, and at the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.

4. And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.

5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; and the tops of the mountains were seen in the tenth month, on the first day of the month.

6. And it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

7. And he sent forth a raven, and it kept going out and returning until the waters were dried up from off the face of the earth.

8. He also sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had gone down from off the face of the earth;

9. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and pulled her to him into the ark.

10. And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

11. And the dove came to him in the evening, and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the face of the earth.

12. And he waited yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return again to him any more.

 (A Faithful Version)

1. 耶和華一直掛心挪亞和方舟裡的各種活物。是時候讓風吹遍大地，令水勢減弱。

2. 深淵的水源和天窗也閉上，雨就漸停。

3. 第一百五十天後，地球上的水漸退，直到完全退去。

4. 這是第七個月十七日，方舟停在亞拉臘山。

5. 水位不斷在下降，到第十個月一日，整個山，從山頂到山丘都能看到。

6. 再過四十日，挪亞打開方舟的天窗。

7. 放出一隻烏鴉。烏鴉飛出飛入，直到水退。

8. 便再放一隻鴿子，去測試水是否真的全退。

9. 鴿子似乎找不到落腳之處，就飛回，原意是避開水災，水既未退，就把鴿子收回。

10. 再等七天，放鴿子。

11. 這回，到了晚上，鴿子才飛來，嘴裡銜著橄欖枝。挪亞曉得大水盡去。

12. 再等多七天，放出鴿子，不見回來。

天災這是其中一種，是從自然情況互動產生，是大自然一部份，有一定軌跡和條件配合。大自然的互動，如人與人之間的互動一樣，能把耶和華的智慧呈現出來。大自然不是用來懲治，地被懲處是因為人。

AI:

Wind and rain are closely linked through atmospheric dynamics, driven by pressure systems and air movement. 

Large-scale pressure systems   are a primary driver: low-pressure areas cause air to rise, cool, and condense, forming clouds and precipitation.  The pressure gradient around these lows also generates strong winds. High-pressure systems, in contrast, involve sinking, drying air that suppresses cloud formation and rain. 

Small-scale processes   also contribute: within storms, evaporative cooling and the weight of raindrops (hydrometeor loading) create downdrafts that spread out at the surface as gusty winds—often visible as a “rain foot.” These downdrafts are a key reason why wind often increases during rainfall. 

Wind influences rainfall patterns   in several ways:

• It transports moisture, bringing wet air masses to new regions.
• It can force air upward over mountains, triggering condensation and rain.
• In urban areas, wind alters raindrop trajectories, increasing runoff by causing rain to strike building walls more directly.
• Wind shear (changes in wind speed/direction with height) affects cloud formation; stable wind conditions favor rain, while strong shear can disrupt it. 

Future climate models   suggest compound wind and rainfall extremes (like severe storms) will become more frequent due to intensified rainfall (thermodynamic effects) and stronger jet streams (dynamic effects), increasing the risk of extreme weather events. 

這大自然互動的原理，不是人為，是耶和華創造就考慮到的，它是設計，行用各種因素成了相互供應，不用外加動力的自然系統，為各樣生物提供生存的需要。

人也是聰明絕頂，很早和大自然中互動，累積了知識，產生了智慧，懂得分析，善於運用。

為何先選烏鴉，作為先頭偵測，這是人對自然生態的了解，是知識同智慧結合出來的判斷。牠的特性可以在網頁中了解：

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_raven ：一項旨在評估洞察力的實驗 解決問題 能力涉及將一塊肉綁在懸掛在棲木上的繩子上。為了夠到食物,鳥需要站在棲木上,一點一點地拉起繩子,然後踩上環,逐漸縮短繩子。五隻普通烏鴉中有四隻最終成功了,「從沒有成功（忽略食物或僅僅拉繩子）到持續可靠獲取（拉起肉）的轉變發生在沒有明顯結果的情況下 反覆試驗 學習。” 這支持了普通烏鴉是「發明家」的假設,這意味著它們可以解決問題。

v.7放出烏鴉。烏鴉飛出飛入，直到水退 (含有不回來的意思)。這指出烏鴉是可以自己找到生存方法。只為牠的方式不一定利於人類或其他動物，因為牠屬雜食，生存容易一類，有冒險的特點，不再回來，只能說水未全退。

v.8放出鴿子：v.9-12 文中給鴿子的特性說明，因為牠們食的是種子，橄欖枝由種子而出，那只有土地的水全退，不全乾之下才有種子可供生長的環境。

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mourning_Dove/lifehistory ：鴿的食物99%都是種子，包括人工種植的穀物甚至花生，以及野生的草、雜草、草藥，偶爾也吃莓果。它們有時也吃蝸牛。鴿每天大約攝取相當於自身體重12%到20%的食物，平均每天攝取71卡路里。

挪亞這個處理方式，似乎沒有記下耶和華的參與，按上文，拉麥子孫的發明，那是有累集知識和運用的技能。那麼這試探天氣的處理，是個人智慧的運用在判斷當中。挪亞沒有作出離開的決定，等待耶和華的吩咐。

挪亞有耐性，因為對耶和華有信心。等候耶和華的指引，在人生關頭沒有衝動去獨行其事，那同樣的一種智慧的運用。

如果覺得這創世的記載，對你有助理解耶和華和人的關係，也請多多分享！
