It includes all forms of life that were on the ark, highlighting God's covenant with all living beings, not just humans. This reflects the creation narrative in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, where God created every living creature, showing His sovereignty and care for all life.<p><b>Every creeping thing</b><br>The mention of "creeping things" underscores the inclusivity of God's salvation plan. In the ancient Near Eastern context, creeping things often had negative connotations, yet here they are part of God's creation and worthy of preservation. This can be seen as a reminder of God's grace extending to all aspects of creation, regardless of their perceived value.<p><b>And every bird</b><br>Birds are often symbolic of freedom and the spirit in biblical literature. Their release from the ark signifies a new beginning and the restoration of creation. This can be connected to the dove sent out by Noah earlier in the chapter, which returned with an olive leaf, symbolizing peace and renewal.<p><b>Everything that moves upon the earth</b><br>This phrase reiterates the totality of the life preserved by God. It reflects the order of creation, where God gave life to all moving creatures. The phrase also anticipates the later biblical theme of God's dominion over all the earth, as seen in Psalms and the prophetic books.<p><b>Came out of the ark</b><br>The exit from the ark marks a new chapter in the history of creation. It parallels the exodus motif found throughout the Bible, where God's people are delivered from confinement or bondage into a new life. This can be seen as a type of resurrection, prefiguring the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ.<p><b>Kind by kind</b><br>This phrase indicates the order and structure within God's creation. It reflects the <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a> account, where God created each species according to its kind. This orderliness is a testament to God's intentional design and purpose in creation, which is a recurring theme throughout Scripture.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/noah.htm">Noah</a></b><br>The righteous man chosen by God to build the ark and preserve life during the flood.
