Leaving the Ark

13And it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters had dried up from upon the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dry.

14And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

15Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

16Come out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.

17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, from all flesh—birds and livestock and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—so that they may swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.

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

19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves on the earth—went out from the ark by their families.
