# Two months later
|
||
|
||
This means two months after Noah released the dove from the ark. It may be necessary to say this explicitly if it is not clear.
|
||
|
||
# God said to Noah, “You and your family and all the animals ... many children and grandchildren and fill the earth.”
|
||
|
||
This is direct quotation. It can also be stated as an indirect quotation: “God told Noah that he and his family and all the animals could leave the boat then, and have many children and grandchildren and fill the earth.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
|
||
|
||
# Have many children
|
||
|
||
To make sure it is clear that this was God’s command and desire, you could say, “You must have many children.” or, “I want you to have many children.”
|
||
|
||
# fill the earth
|
||
|
||
If this is not clear, it may be necessary to say, “and fill the earth with people” or, “so that there will be many people living on the earth.”
|
||
|
||
# came out
|
||
|
||
Some languages would say, “came out” instead. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-go]])
