In Genesis, Noah sent out the animals after the dove's final flight from the Ark.
Genesis 8:17 records God's instruction to bring out every living creature—birds, livestock, and creeping things—so they could multiply on the earth. Noah and his family leave in the following verse, after the animals have been released.
This order comes at the end of the flood narrative. Noah had previously used a raven and a dove to test whether the waters had receded, but the final departure is not another bird test. It is the organized release of the creatures preserved aboard the Ark.
The passage also emphasizes reproduction and repopulation: the animals are told to swarm or multiply according to their kinds. The story therefore moves from preservation during judgment to the restoration of life on dry land.
