Genesis 9:8-17 - God's Promise - The Sign Of The Rainbow

⁸ And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying: ⁹ I, therefore, behold me! establishing my covenant with you, - and with your seed after you; ¹⁰ and with every living soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, - of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts of the earth; ¹¹ yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, - neither shall there he any more a flood to destroy the earth.

¹² And God said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, - to age-abiding generations: - ¹³ My bow, have I set in the cloud, - and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth; ¹⁴ and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, - and the bow in the cloud appeareth, ¹⁵ then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, - that the waters may no more become a flood, to destroy all flesh: ¹⁶ so the bow shall be in the cloud, - and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that is on the earth. ¹⁷ And God said unto Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which have established, between me and all flesh that is on the earth.
