Genesis 8:15-19
God brings His people out of preservation into renewed purpose and multiplication.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
God brings His people out of preservation into renewed purpose and multiplication.
To record God’s command for Noah to leave the ark and to reestablish life on the earth through multiplication.
God Remembers Noah, Causes the Waters to Recede, and Reestablishes Life After Judgment
After judging the world by the flood, God remembers Noah, restores habitable creation, receives Noah’s worship, and commits Himself to the preservation of earth’s ordered rhythms despite persistent human sinfulness.
