God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

and with every living creature that is with you—birds, livestock, and all wildlife of the earth that are with you—all the animals of the earth that came out of the ark.

Every living creature will be food for you; as I gave the green plants, I have given you everything.

Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

I will remember My covenant between Me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.

Noah’s sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between Me and every creature on earth.”

I will require the life of every animal and every man for your life and your blood. I will require the life of each man’s brother for a man’s life.

I have placed My bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all future generations:

I confirm My covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by the waters of a flood; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
