Genesis 8:13-19

13By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water on the land had dried up. Noah opened the top of the ship, looked out, and saw the surface of the ground.

14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was dry.

15Then God spoke to Noah,

16“Come out of the ship with your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives.

17Bring out every animal that’s with you: birds, domestic animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth. Be fertile, increase in number, and spread over the earth.”

18So Noah came out with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives.

19Every animal, crawling creature, and bird—everything that moves on the earth—came out of the ship, one kind after another.
