Genesis 8:16

Salvation

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15 Then God said to Noah,

“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17 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.”

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