Génesis 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 8:18

And Noah went forth
Being obedient to the divine command, and no doubt with great pleasure in his countenance, and with a heart full of thankfulness for so great a deliverance;

and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
in all eight persons, and no more were saved in the ark, as Peter observes, ( 1 Peter 3:20 ) and the Arabic writers say F1, Noah and his sons built a city near the place where they came out of the ark, and called it Themanin, giving this as a reason of the name, we are eight, that is, who have escaped; so Berosus says F2, that the earth being dried of the waters, there were then only eight men in Armenia, from whence all mankind sprung.

Génesis 8:18 In-Context

16 «Sal del arca junto con tus hijos, tu esposa y tus nueras.
17 Saca también a todos los seres vivientes que están contigo: las aves, el ganado y todos los animales que se arrastran por el suelo. ¡Que sean fecundos! ¡Que se multipliquen y llenen la tierra!»
18 Salieron, pues, del arca Noé y sus hijos, su esposa y sus nueras.
19 Salieron también todos los animales: el ganado, las aves, y todos los reptiles que se mueven sobre la tierra, cada uno según su especie.
20 Luego Noé construyó un altar al SEÑOR, y sobre ese altar ofreció como holocausto animales puros y aves puras.
