Genesis 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 8:15

And God spake unto Noah, saying
Whether in a dream or vision, or by an articulate voice, appearing in an human form, or by an impulse on his mind, is not certain; however, the Lord spoke so to him, that he heard him and understood him: it was, no doubt, very rejoicing to him, since he had not heard his voice for a year or more, at least that we read of; and what he said to him was as follows.

Genesis 8:15 In-Context

13 It was the first day of the first month of Noah's 601st year. The water had dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering from the ark. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

14 By the 27th day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

15 Then God said to Noah,

16 "Come out of the ark. Bring your wife and your sons and their wives with you.

17 "Bring out every kind of living thing that is with you. Bring the birds, the animals, and all of the creatures that move along the ground. Then they can multiply on the earth. They can have little ones and increase their numbers."
