Genesis 8:15-22

15Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16“Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may 12breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. 19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out 3by their families from the ark.

20Then Noah built 4an altar to the Lord, and took of every 5clean animal and of every clean bird and offered 6burnt offerings on the altar. 21The Lord 7smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said 8to Himself, “I will never again 9curse the ground on account of man, for 10the 11intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; 12and I will never again 13destroy every living thing, as I have done.22While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And 14summer and winter, And 15day and night Shall not cease.”
