23
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
980. Verse 1. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. “God blessed” signifies the presence and grace of the Lord; “Noah and his sons” signifies the Ancient Church; “be fruitful” signifies the goods of charity; “and multiply” signifies the truths of faith, which were now to be increased; “replenish the earth” signifies in the external man.
