• A good deal is sometimes made of the word "Come" in the A. V. of ver. 1. This is really beside the mark. The verb may be either, as best suits the context, which is often as here a delicate question if made one. When it means entering where the speaker is, "come" is the more correct in the usage of our tongue; where no emphasis of this kind calls for it, either may be used correctly, as for instance here. (“The Early Chapters of Genesis: Chapter 7:1-10” by W. Kelly)
