And it came to pass that on the morrow, after that we had prepared all things, much fruits and meat from the wilderness, and honey in abundance, and provisions, according to that which the Lord had commanded us, we did go down into the ship with all our loading and our seeds, and whatsoever thing we had brought with us, every one according to his age; wherefore, we did all go down into the ship, with our wives and our children.

Simple English

The next day we prepared everything. We got lots of fruit and meat from the wilderness. We got plenty of honey and food as the Lord had commanded us. We went into the ship with all our things and seeds. We brought everything we had. We all went into the ship with our wives and children.

Paraphrase

The next day, after we loaded everything—fruit, dried meat from our hunts, lots of honey, and all the provisions the Lord told us to bring—we all boarded the ship. We brought our seeds and everything else we’d gathered, and everyone got on board—wives, children, everyone according to their age.
