God’s Covenant with Noah
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As
for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and
your descendants after you, and with every living
creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic
animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as
many as came out of the ark. I establish my
covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh
be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again
shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
