Charles Spurgeon Commentary Genesis 8:16-19

"Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons` wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons` wives with him: every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark." — Genesis 8:16-19 (ASV)

You, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you. Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creeps upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

That was a very wonderful procession; it was the new beginning of everything upon the earth. Whatever evolution or any other folly or evil of man may have done, everything had to begin over again.

Everybody was drowned except these great fathers of the new age, and all must begin from this stock.
