# Genesis 08 General Notes #

#### Structure and formatting ####

Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 8:22, which is the poetic part of the quotation.

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####

##### Flood waters #####
The waters receded after this great flood. Because there was so much water, and it came from God, it is described in a unique way. 

##### The mountains of Ararat #####
It is unclear where Ararat was located. Many people believe it is located in the modern country of Turkey.
