Genesis 8:17
“Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 8Meaning
God directs Noah to bring out the animals so creature life can spread and multiply again on the earth.
Read carefully
The command concerns renewed creature life after the flood and is not a modern ecological management blueprint.
Reflection
Preservation aims toward renewed flourishing, not permanent confinement.
