It mirrors the creation account in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, where God creates various kinds of animals. The mention of specific categories of animals underscores the comprehensive nature of God's covenant, ensuring the survival and flourishing of all forms of life. This reflects God's original command in <a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a> for humanity to steward and care for the earth and its creatures.every living thing that came out of the ark This phrase signifies the new beginning for all life post-flood. The ark serves as a type of Christ, providing salvation and deliverance from judgment. Just as Noah and the animals were saved through the ark, believers find salvation in Christ. The emergence from the ark symbolizes a fresh start, akin to the new creation believers experience in Christ, as described in <a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>.every living thing that came out of the ark The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the continuity of life and God's faithfulness in preserving His creation. It also points to the historical reality of the flood narrative, which is supported by various flood legends across cultures, suggesting a shared memory of a cataclysmic event. The ark's resting place on the mountains of Ararat (<a href="/genesis/8-4.htm">Genesis 8:4</a>) is a geographical marker that has intrigued archaeologists and explorers seeking evidence of the flood's historicity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/n/noah.htm">Noah</a> The righteous man chosen by God to survive the flood and repopulate the earth.

I.e. wild beast (<a href="/genesis/1-25.htm">Genesis 1:25</a>), the chayyah of the land, which was not included among the animals that entered the ark (Murphy); or living creature (<a href="/genesis/2-19.htm">Genesis 2:19</a>), referring here to the fishes of the sea, which were not included in the ark (Kalisch). That the entire brute creation was designed to be embraced in the Noachic covenant seems apparent from the use of the prepositions - בְּ describing the classes to which the animals belong, as in <a href="/genesis/7-21.htm">Genesis 7:21</a>; מִן indicating one portion of the whole, the to minus aquo, and לְ the terminus ad quem - in their enumeration (vide Furst, 'Hebrew Lex.,' sub לְ., p. 715; cf. Kell in loco). Kalisch thinks the language applies only to the animals of Noah's time, and not to those of a later age, on the ground that "the destiny of the animals is everywhere connected with that of the human race;" but this is equivalent to their being included in the covenant. <a href="/commentaries/genesis/9-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and with וְאֵ֨ת (wə·’êṯ) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_854.htm">Strong's 854: </a> Nearness, near, with, by, at, among every כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every living הַֽחַיָּה֙ (ha·ḥay·yāh) Article | Adjective - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2416.htm">Strong's 2416: </a> Alive, raw, fresh, strong, life creature נֶ֤פֶשׁ (ne·p̄eš) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion that אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that [was] with you— אִתְּכֶ֔ם (’it·tə·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_854.htm">Strong's 854: </a> Nearness, near, with, by, at, among the birds, בָּע֧וֹף (bā·‘ō·wp̄) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5775.htm">Strong's 5775: </a> Flying creatures the livestock, בַּבְּהֵמָ֛ה (bab·bə·hê·māh) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_929.htm">Strong's 929: </a> A dumb beast, any large quadruped, animal and every וּֽבְכָל־ (ū·ḇə·ḵāl) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every beast חַיַּ֥ת (ḥay·yaṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2416.htm">Strong's 2416: </a> Alive, raw, fresh, strong, life of the earth— הָאָ֖רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land every מִכֹּל֙ (mik·kōl) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every living thing חַיַּ֥ת (ḥay·yaṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2416.htm">Strong's 2416: </a> Alive, raw, fresh, strong, life that came out יֹצְאֵ֣י (yō·ṣə·’ê) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim of the ark. הַתֵּבָ֔ה (hat·tê·ḇāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8392.htm">Strong's 8392: </a> A box, chest <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/genesis/9-10.htm">Genesis 9:10 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/genesis/9-10.htm">OT Law: Genesis 9:10 And with every living creature that (Gen.
