Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.

every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

Egredere ex arca, tu, et uxor tua, et filii tui, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.

(h) Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
(h) Noah declares his obedience, in that he would not leave the ark without God's express commandment, as he did not enter in without the same: the ark being a figure of the Church, in which nothing must be done outside the word of God.

Go forth of the ark,.... Though the earth was dry and fit to be inhabited, yet be would not go out without orders, as he had to go in; which he waited for before he would, and now he has them:
thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives, with thee: the Jewish writers (z) observe, that the manner of Noah and his family coming out of the ark is different from that of their going into it: when they went into it then went the men by themselves, and the women by themselves, and so continued apart in the ark, the use of the marriage bed being forbidden them, being a time of distress; but now when they came out they are coupled together, signifying that they were now free to cohabit together.
