Summary

After the floodwaters receded, Noah and his family, along with all the animals on the ark, came out onto dry land. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in human history, as they were now tasked with repopulating the earth and starting afresh. The faithfulness of God in preserving Noah and his family through the flood serves as a reminder of His protection and provision for those who are obedient and walk in righteousness. This event also foreshadows the ultimate salvation and renewal that comes through Jesus Christ, who provides a way of escape from judgment and a new beginning for all who believe.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth,.... All went out, not one was left, and they went out after their kind; not in a confused disorderly manner, mixing with one another; but as they went in by pairs, male and female of every sort, so they came forth in like manner, or, "according to their families" (c); by which it seems as if the creatures did breed in the ark, and had their families of young ones; and which is the sense of some in Aben Ezra, and he himself thinks it not foreign, though he interprets it as we do, and as the Greek version does, "after their kind": thus they went forth out of the ark; everyone with his mate, in order to procreate and multiply upon the earth. (c) "juxta familias suas", Tigurine version, Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
