Genesis 9:1-17 — God's Covenant with Noah
Gen.9.1-17
1God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2The fear of you and the dread of you will be upon every animal of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are given. 3Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I have given you everything. 4But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat. 5And surely I will require your lifeblood; from the hand of every animal I will require it. And from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man. 6Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed, for in the image of God He made man. 7But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; swarm on the earth and multiply upon it." 8Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9"As for Me, behold, I am establishing My covenant with you and with your offspring after you, 10and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you—of all that came out of the ark, every animal of the earth. 11I establish My covenant with you: never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." 12And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13I have set My bow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14It shall happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16When the bow is in the cloud, I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." 17So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
