• Two months later - This means two months after Noah released the dove from the ark. It may be necessary to say this explicitly if it is not clear.
• Have many children – To make sure it is clear that this was God's command and desire, you could say, "You must have many children." or, "I want you to have many children."
• fill the earth - If this is not clear, it may be necessary to say, "and fill the earth with people" or, "so that there will be many people living on the earth."
