Genesis 8:15-22 - The Lord's Promise
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, so that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every animal, every fowl, and every creeping thing, all which creeps upon the earth after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah. And he took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And Jehovah smelled a sweet odor. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. And I will not again smite every living thing as I have done.
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
