Genesis 8:15-22 - The Lord's Promise

¹⁵ And God spake unto Noah saying, ¹⁶ "Come out of the ark, both thou and thy wife and thy sons and thy sons' wives with thee. ¹⁷ And all the beasts that are with thee whatsoever flesh it be, both fowl and cattle and all manner worms that creep on the earth, bring out with thee, and let them move, grow and multiply upon the earth." ¹⁸ And Noah came out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. ¹⁹ All the beasts also, and all the worms, and all the fowls, and all that crept upon the earth, went out of the ark, every one unto his like.

²⁰ And Noah made an altar unto the LORD, and took of all manner of clean beasts and all manner of clean fowls, and offered sacrifice upon the altar. ²¹ And the LORD smelled a sweet savour and said in his heart, "I will henceforth no more curse the earth for man's sake, for the imagination of man's heart is evil even from the very youth of him. Moreover I will not destroy from henceforth all that liveth as I have done.

²² Neither shall sowing time and harvest, cold, and heat, summer and winter, day and night cease, as long as the earth endureth."
