Did God forget Noah? Old Testament — Genesis 8:1

Claim:

This passage states that “God remembered Noah…” However, the Bible also teaches that God is omniscient (Ps. 147:5; Heb. 4:13). Why would an omniscient Being need to remember something?

Response:

This is anthropomorphic language. For a full explanation, see comments on Exodus 2:24.
