上帝赐福给挪亚和他的儿子,对他们说:“你们要生养众多,遍满了地”。
God blessed Noah and his sons,and said to them:"Be fruitful and multiply,and fill the earth."
诺亚方舟、和平鸽、橄榄枝是和平的标志。佛教是平和“”(纳粹的符号),道教是和谐“阴阳鱼”,儒教也有“太极图”、“河图”、“洛书”等,都是和平的象征。
到了晚上,鸽子回到了他那里,嘴里叼着一个新拧下来的橄榄叶子,挪亚就知道地上的水退了。
And the dove came back to him in the evening ,and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.
凡是地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟都必惊恐,惧怕你们;连地上一切的昆虫并海里的一切鱼,都交付你们的手。凡活着的动物,都可以做你们的食物。这一切我都赐给你们,如同蔬菜一样。
