“Bring out all the living creatures that are with you — birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground — so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”
Genesis 8:17 (BSB)
Context Reading
15Then God said to Noah, 16“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives. 17Bring out all the living creatures that are with you — birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground — so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.” 18So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird — everything that moves upon the earth — came out of the ark, kind by kind.
