Genesis
9:8-17
(8) Then God said to Noah and to
his sons with him,
(9) "Behold, I establish my
covenant with you and your offspring after you,
(10) and
with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and
every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for
every beast of the earth.
(11)
I establish my covenant with you, that never again
shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall
there be a flood to destroy the earth."
(12) And God said, "This is
the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living
creature that is with you, for all future generations:
(13) I have set my bow in the
cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
(14) When I bring clouds over the
earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,
(15) I will remember my covenant
that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the
waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
(16)
When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and
remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all
flesh that is on the earth."
(17) God said to Noah, "This
is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh
that is on the earth."
