Gênesis 8:16

16 Sai da arca, tu, e juntamente contigo tua mulher, teus filhos e as mulheres de teus filhos.

Gênesis 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 8:16

Go forth of the ark
Though the earth was dry and fit to be inhabited, yet be would not go out without orders, as he had to go in; which he waited for before he would, and now he has them:

thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives, with thee:
the Jewish writers ^F26 observe, that the manner of Noah and his family coming out of the ark is different from that of their going into it: when they went into it then went the men by themselves, and the women by themselves, and so continued apart in the ark, the use of the marriage bed being forbidden them, being a time of distress; but now when they came out they are coupled together, signifying that they were now free to cohabit together.

16 Sai da arca, tu, e juntamente contigo tua mulher, teus filhos e as mulheres de teus filhos.

17 Todos os animais que estão contigo, de toda a carne, tanto aves como gado e todo réptil que se arrasta sobre a terra, traze-os para fora contigo; para que se reproduzam abundantemente na terra, frutifiquem e se multipliquem sobre a terra.

18 Então saiu Noé, e com ele seus filhos, sua mulher e as mulheres de seus filhos;
