Genesis 8:15-22
15Then God said to Noah, 16“Go out from the ark, ayou and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and bbe 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 by families from the ark.God’s Covenant with Noah
20Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21And when the Lord smelled cthe pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again dcurse ▼▼Or dishonor
the ground because of man, for fthe intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. gNeither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. 22 hWhile the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, iday and night, shall not cease.”
