Genesis
8
20
Noah built an altar to the LORD. He then took some of every kind of clean animal and clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21
And the LORD smelled the soothing aroma and said to himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, even though the inclination of their minds is evil from childhood on. I will never again destroy everything that lives, as I have just done.
22
"While the earth continues to exist, planting time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease."
9
1
Then God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
2
Every living creature of the earth and every bird of the sky will be terrified of you. Everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea are under your authority.
3
You may eat any moving thing that lives. As I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
4
But you must not eat meat with its life (that is, its blood) in it.
5
For your lifeblood I will surely exact punishment, from every living creature I will exact punishment. From each person I will exact punishment for the life of the individual since the man was his relative.
6
"Whoever sheds human blood, by other humans must his blood be shed; for in God's image God has made humankind."
7
But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; increase abundantly on the earth and multiply on it."
8
God said to Noah and his sons,
9
"Look! I now confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you
10
and with every living creature that is with you, including the birds, the domestic animals, and every living creature of the earth with you, all those that came out of the ark with you - every living creature of the earth.
11
I confirm my covenant with you: Never again will all living things be wiped out by the waters of a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth."
12
And God said, "This is the guarantee of the covenant I am making with you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all subsequent generations:
13
I will place my rainbow in the clouds, and it will become a guarantee of the covenant between me and the earth.
14
Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15
then I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures of all kinds. Never again will the waters become a flood and destroy all living things.
16
When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will notice it and remember the perpetual covenant between God and all living creatures of all kinds that are on the earth."
17
So God said to Noah, "This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things that are on the earth."
