God tells Noah to enter the ark, for He is going to "cause it to rain
upon the earth forty days and forty nights." Noah enters the ark and God
closes the door. In "the selfsame day" that Noah entered the ark, "the
same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights."
The pertinent point to notice is this: "For yet seven days, and I will
cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights ...," "And
it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon
the earth."
Gen 7:4a For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth
forty days and forty nights;
Gen 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the
flood were upon the earth.
Exodus 9 includes a parallel use of an announcement that YHWH will
"cause to rain" and the effect coming.
Exo 9:18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a
very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation
thereof even until now.
Exo 9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD
sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the
LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Did the rain take seven days and the hail take one day to reach the
earth? Or were these both just serving notice? I don't know.
