Noah Leaves the Ark

The waters continued to recede until the earth became dry. Then God spoke to

Noah, “Come out of the ark, you and your family.” “Bring out every

living creature with you, so they may multiply on the earth.” Noah obeyed,

and every animal came out of the ark, one kind after another. Then Noah built

an altar to the Lord and offered sacrifices in worship. The Lord was pleased

and said, “Never again will I destroy all living creatures.” “As long as the

earth endures, day and night, seedtime and harvest will never cease.”
