Then God said to Noah, “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
Genesis 8:15-16 (NIV)
God told Noah to enter the Ark. Twelve months later, God told Noah to exit the Ark.
A Midrash points to a Psalm and says it’s about Noah, crying out to be freed from the Ark.
“God spoke to Noah, saying: Go out of the ark” – “release me from confinement to thank Your name. The righteous, through me, will give glory when You perform kindness with me” (Psalms 142:8). “Release me from confinement [masger]” – this refers to Noah, who had been confined to the ark for twelve months.
Bereshit Rabbah 34:1
Perhaps. But I wonder if he didn’t want off the boat. He would have to face the world again.
