seems odd

 Noah and his sons and their four wives come off of the Ark and start multiplying upon the face of the Earth. The Bible plainly states that the entire Earth was repopulated by these eight people.

You may have noticed that God is doing all this. So now God gets ready to bring the nation of Israel out of Egypt and back to the promised land where they b...
