Gen 8:15–19: come out; by their families

Says וַיְדַבֵּר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ, "and God spoke to Noah": צֵא מִן־הַתֵּבָה, "go out from the ark," אַתָּה וְאִשְׁתְּךָ וּבָנֶיךָ, "you and your wife and your sons," and their wives. In 8:17 the written text has הוצא, read הַיְצֵא: both are Hiphil imperatives of yatsa', "bring out," spelled two ways. The animals are to go out so that וְשָׁרְצוּ בָאָרֶץ, "they swarm on the earth" ("spread out over the earth," BSB), וּפָרוּ וְרָבוּ עַל־הָאָרֶץ, "and are fruitful and multiply on the earth."

Says In 8:18 Noah goes out וּבָנָיו וְאִשְׁתּוֹ, "and his sons and his wife," where 8:16 had the wife first. In 8:19 the animals go out לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתֵיהֶם יָצְאוּ מִן־הַתֵּבָה, "by their families from the ark" ("kind by kind," BSB): mishpakhah is "family, clan," not min, the "kind" of 6:20 and 7:14.

Uncertain Whether "be fruitful and multiply" in 8:17 renews for the animals the charge of creation (1:22, 28) or simply states that life resumes on the earth. No lean is taken here.
