Genesis 9:7–11

7 But you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out over the earth and multiply on it.”j

8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, 9 “Understand that I am establishing my covenantk with you and your descendants after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you—birds, livestock, and all wildlife of the earth that are with you—all the animals of the earth that came out of the ark. 11 I establish my covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by floodwaters; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”l
