14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was completely dry.
15 God said to Noah,
16 “You, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law may now leave the boat.
17 Let out the birds, animals, and reptiles, so they can mate and live all over the earth.”
18 After Noah and his family had gone out of the boat,
19 the living creatures left in groups of their own kind.
20 Noah built an altar where he could offer sacrifices to the Lord. Then he offered on the altar one of each kind of animal and bird that could be used for a sacrifice.
