15Then GodH430 spokeH1696 to NoahH5146, sayingH559, 16“GoH3318 outH3318 of the arkH8392, you and your wifeH802 and your sonsH1121 and your sons’H1121 wivesH802 with you. 17BringH3318 outH3318 with you everyH3605 livingH2421 thingH2421 of allH3605 fleshH1320 that is with you, birdsH5775 and animalsH929 and everyH3605 crawlingH7431 thingH7431 that crawlsH7430 on the earthH776, that they may 12breedH8317 abundantlyH8317 on the earthH776, and 3beH6509 fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 on the earthH776.” 18So NoahH5146 wentH3318 outH3318, and his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802, and his sons’H1121 wivesH802 with him. 19EveryH3605 animalH2421, everyH3605 crawlingH7431 thingH7431, and everyH3605 birdH5775, everythingH3605 that movesH7430 on the earthH776, wentH3318 outH3318 4by their familiesH4940 from the arkH8392.

20Then NoahH5146 builtH1129 5an altarH4196 to the LordH3068, and tookH3947 someH4480 of everyH3605 kind of 6cleanH2889 animalH929 and someH4480 of everyH3605 cleanH2889 birdH5775 and offeredH5927 7burntH5930 offeringsH5930 on the altarH4196. 21The LordH3068 8smelledH7381 the soothingH5207 aromaH7381, and the LordH3068 saidH559 9to HimselfH3820, “I will neverH3808H5750 againH3254 10curseH7043 the groundH127 on accountH5668 of manH120, for 11the 12intentH3336 of man’sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; 13and I will neverH3808H5750 againH3254 14destroyH5221 everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416, as I have doneH6213.22WhileH5750 the earthH776 remainsH5750H3605H3117, SeedtimeH2233 and harvestH7105, ColdH7120 and heatH2527, 15SummerH7019 and winterH2779, And 16dayH3117 and nightH3915 Shall not ceaseH7673.”
