The words "order the animals to leave the Ark" (Genesis 8:17) are written as if pronounced "forcibly remove the animals from the Ark." Why was it so difficult to leave the Ark and what can we learn from this about bringing holiness into our daily lives?

I can't find anything in Genesis 7&8 concerning plants. My thinking is the animals had to have food so the only plant brought into the Ark would be either animal, bird or human food. I think because plants, trees.etc, have seed that when the waters receded,land dried,etc. that plant/trees could spring up on their own. Also seeds could scatter worldwide. Another thought, could the animals,birds,etc been babies or in egg form? This saves space on the boat and would require less food. Also very young would not be aware of all the sin of mankind,birds,etc. before the flood. Remember the world was corrupted also in the gene pool. Thanks

Animals have instinct even though they don't have intellect. They can sense danger and also feel security. When Moshiach will come they too will have a greater sense of awareness.
No doubt in the ark they felt this security and were afraid to leave.
Pertaining to communication, we know that king Solomon was able to speak to the animals so they do communicate.

I appreciate wisdom & knowledge connected in Your lecture. So I become yous student.

The way you speak of the animals, you know what they were thinking. Did they have a gift of communication or something obvious to show what they thought?
I am not being a skeptic-- I am serious and I'd love to hear your answer!

A Biblical year is 10 months, correct?
Then why is it said that they were in the ark 1 Biblical year- 365 days? Isn't that a year on a pagan calendar?:) thanks!
