Genesis

Genesis 8:16–18

¹⁶“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives. ¹⁷Bring out all the living creatures that are with you— birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground— so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

¹⁸So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
