8Then GodH430 spokeH559 to NoahH5146 and to his sonsH1121 with him, sayingH559, 9“Now beholdH2009, 1I MyselfH589 am establishingH6965 My covenantH1285 with you, and with your 2descendantsH2233 afterH310 you; 10and with everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that is with you: the birdsH5775, the livestockH929, and everyH3605 animalH2421 of the earthH776 with you; of allH3605 that comesH3318 outH3318 of the arkH8392, everyH3605 animalH2421 of the earthH776. 11I establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with you; and allH3605 fleshH1320 shall 3neverH3808 againH5750 be eliminatedH3772 by the watersH4325 of a floodH3999, 4norH3808 shall there againH5750 be a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 the earthH776.” 12GodH430 saidH559, “ThisH2088 is 5the signH226 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 I am makingH5414 betweenH996 Me and you and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that is with you, for 6allH5769 futureH5769 generationsH1755; 13I have setH5414 My 7rainbowH7198 in the cloudH6051, and it shall 8serve as a signH226 of a covenantH1285 betweenH996 Me and the earthH776. 14It shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, when I makeH6049 a cloudH6051 appearH6049 overH5921 the earthH776, that the rainbowH7198 will be seenH7200 in the cloudH6051, 15and 9I will rememberH2142 My covenantH1285, whichH834 is betweenH996 Me and you and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320; and 10neverH3808 againH5750 shall the waterH4325 becomeH1961 a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 allH3605 fleshH1320. 16When the rainbowH7198 is in the cloudH6051, then I will lookH7200 at it, to rememberH2142 the 11everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 betweenH996 GodH430 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320 that is on the earthH776.” 17And GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “ThisH2088 is the signH226 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 I have establishedH6965 betweenH996 Me and allH3605 fleshH1320 that is on the earthH776.”
