Then
The word "Then" signifies a continuation of events, a transition from what has previously occurred. In the context of Genesis, it marks a pivotal moment following the receding of the floodwaters. This word indicates God's perfect timing and His sovereign control over the unfolding of history. It reminds us that God's plans are executed in His divine timing, often after a period of waiting and preparation.

God
The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a name that emphasizes His power and majesty. Elohim is a plural form, which some scholars suggest hints at the complexity of the Godhead, aligning with the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. This name for God underscores His role as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, the One who has authority over all creation, including the flood and its aftermath.

said
The act of speaking by God is significant throughout Scripture. The Hebrew word "amar" is used here, which conveys not just the act of speaking but also the authority and intention behind the words. When God speaks, His words are powerful and creative, as seen in Genesis 1. Here, God's speech initiates a new phase in His relationship with Noah and humanity, highlighting the importance of divine communication and revelation.

to Noah
Noah, whose name means "rest" or "comfort," is a central figure in this narrative. He represents the faithful remnant preserved by God through the flood. Noah's obedience and righteousness set him apart, making him a recipient of God's direct communication. This phrase emphasizes the personal nature of God's relationship with His people. Noah's experience serves as an example of how God interacts with those who walk faithfully with Him, offering guidance and direction in times of transition and renewal.

(15-19) Go forth . . . --At the end of exactly a solar year, thus curiously rectified, Noah, his family, and all the animals belonging to the Noachian world-circle are to leave the ark. The vast extent of the flood, and the total destruction of all that had existed before, is indicated by the repetition of the primaeval command, in Genesis 1:22, "to be fruitful and multiply upon the earth." Whatever the flood may have been with respect to the whole globe, it was to Noah and his race absolutely a. new beginning of things.

Verses 15-17. - And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark. For which command doubtless the patriarch waited, as he had done for instructions to enter in (Genesis 7:11), "being restrained by a hallowed modesty from allowing himself to enjoy the bounty of nature till he should hear the voice of God directing him to do so" (Calvin). Thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. The order is different, in Genesis 7:7, whence Ambrose noteth, "non commiscetur sexus in introitu, sod commiscetur in ingressu." Bring forth with thee - God having preserved alive the creatures that a twelvemonth before had been taken into the ark, and were now to be restored to their appropriate habitations on the earth - 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 (cf. Genesis 7:21; Genesis 9:10); that they may breed abundantly - sharatz, to creep or crawl, used of reptiles and small water animals (Genesis 1:20; Genesis 7:21); hence to swarm, or multiply (Genesis 9:7) - in the earth, and be fruitful (Genesis 1:22), and multiply - literally, become numerous - upon the earth.
