Genesis 8:15–22

15 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and fbe fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their †kinds, went forth out of the ark.

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled g†a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again hcurse the ground any more for man’s sake; ||for the iimagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; kneither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 l†While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and mday and night shall not cease.
