Bereshis 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.

Bereshis 8:15 In-Context

13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the mayim were dried up from off ha’aretz; and Noach removed the mikhseh (covering) of the tevah (ark), and looked, and, hinei, the surface of the adamah was dry.

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was ha’aretz dry.

15 And Elohim spoke unto Noach, saying,

16 Go forth of the tevah (ark), thou, and thy isha, and thy banim, and the nashim of thy banim with thee.

17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of kol basar, both of bird, and of behemah, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz; that they may multiply abundantly on ha’aretz, and be fruitful, and increase upon ha’aretz.
