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 crawling thing that crawls on the earth, that they may 12breed abundantly on the earth, and 3be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him. 19Every animal, every crawling thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out 4by their families from the ark.

20Then Noah built 5an altar to the Lord, and took some of every kind of 6clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered 7burnt offerings on the altar. 21The Lord 8smelled the soothing aroma, and the Lord said 9to Himself, “I will never again 10curse the ground on account of man, for 11the 12intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; 13and I will never again 14destroy every living thing, as I have done.22While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, 15Summer and winter, And 16day and night Shall not cease.”
