Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 8:7

7. And he sent forth a Raven, which went forth to and fro , untill the Waters were dried up from off the Earth .

A fit messenger for that purpose, because it smells dead Carcases at a great distance, and flies far, and then returneth to its former habitation, with something in its bill.

Heb. Going and returning. (i. e.) went forth hither and thither, now forward then backward, sometimes going from the Ark, and sometimes returning to the Ark, though never entring into it again.

Not as if she returned afterwards, but the phrase implies that she never returned. And so the word untill is often used as 2 Sam. 6. last. Michal had no Child untill the day of her death, i. e. never had a Child, See also Psal. 110. 1. Matth. 1. 25.

Marginal references: Heb. in going forth and returning.
