- Cuncta animantia, quæ sunt apud te, ex omni carne, tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis et universis reptilibus, quæ reptant super terram, educ tecum, et ingredimini super terram : crescite et multiplicamini super eam.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία ὅσα ἐστὶν μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν ἕως κτηνῶν, καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν κινούμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐξάγαγε μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כָּל הַחַיָּ֨ה אֲשֶֽׁר אִתְּךָ֜ מִכָּל בָּשָׂ֗ר בָּע֧וֹף וּבַבְּהֵמָ֛ה וּבְכָל הָרֶ֛מֶשׂ הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל הָאָ֖רֶץ הוצא אִתָּ֑ךְ וְשָֽׁרְצ֣וּ בָאָ֔רֶץ וּפָר֥וּ וְרָב֖וּ עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
Haydock's commentary
Increase. Hebrew, "let them increase." This is spoken of the brute creation, the blessing is given to men. (Chap. ix.)
Neither Noe's family, nor any of the animals, had any young in the ark. (Calmet)
