Genesis 8:15-22

15And GodH430 spake unto NoahH5146, sayingH559, 16GoH3318 forthH3318 from the arkH8392, thou, and thy wifeH802, and thy sonsH1121, and thy sons’H1121 wivesH802 with thee. 17BringH3318 forthH3318 with thee every living thingH7431 that is with thee of all fleshH1320, both birdsH5775, and cattleH929, and every creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepeth upon the earthH776; that they may breed abundantly in the earthH776, and be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 upon the earthH776. 18And NoahH5146 wentH3318 forthH3318, and his sonsH1121, and his wifeH802, and his sons’H1121 wivesH802 with him: 19every beast, every creepingH7431 thingH7431, and every birdH5775, whatsoever moveth upon the earthH776, after their familiesH4940, wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the arkH8392.

20And NoahH5146 builded an altarH4196 unto Jehovah, and tookH3947 of every cleanH2889 beast, and of every cleanH2889 birdH5775, and offeredH5927 burnt-offerings on the altarH4196. 21And Jehovah smelledH7306 the sweet savor; and Jehovah saidH559 in his heartH3820, I will not againH5750 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man’sH120 sakeH5668, for that the imagination of man’sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH5750 smite any more everythingH3605 living, as I have done. 22While the earthH776 remaineth, seedtime and harvestH7105, and cold and heatH2527, and summerH7019 and winterH2779, and dayH3117 and nightH3915 shall not ceaseH7673.
