Extending the Olive Leaf (Genesis 8:10–11)
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
“Doves are not considerate birds who bring men tokens of the state of affairs upon the earth. That this dove brought a leaf in its beak [to Noah] is to be attributed alone to an impulse divinely directed” (Leupold, Exposition of Genesis, 1:3:16 ). In this devotion, we reflect on what this leaf signified for Noah and his family.
