In this video Dr Woodhead says that God remembered Noah. This does not mean that God has a limited memory as humans do and simply forgot. It simply means He took factors into account for His action toward Noah. Or we might say that God began to act on their behalf. The Hebrew word is וַיִּזְכֹּר It is pronounced vaieezkor and it means to be taken into account in terms of God’s next action toward the individual or situation He is dealing with. The same word is used for Abraham saving Lot (Genesis 19: 29) and when He rescued Israel in Exodus 2: 24. He “remembered” the covenant He made with the Patriarchs. He didn’t forget His covenant with them He just took them into account as He carried out His will.
Then God caused a wind to pass over the earth, He stopped the fountains of the deep, and He shut up the windows of heaven. The Hebrew word ruach means either wind or spirit. Just as His spirit moved over the waters in Genesis 1: 2 and to separate the dry land from the water (Genesis 1:9)
