Genesis 9:8-16

8Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9“Now behold, 1I Myself am establishing My covenant with you, and with your 2descendants after you;

10and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, every animal of the earth.

11I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall 3never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, 4nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12God said, “This is 5the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for 6all future generations;

13I have set My 7rainbow in the cloud, and it shall 8serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

14It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

15and 9I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and 10never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at it, to remember the 11everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
