13. I am putting my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
14. When I bring clouds over the earth, a rainbow appears in the clouds.
15. Then I will remember my agreement. It is between me and you and every living thing. Floodwaters will never again destroy all life on the earth.
16. When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it. Then I will remember the agreement that continues forever. It is between me and every living thing on the earth.”
17. So God said to Noah, “That rainbow is a sign. It is the sign of the agreement that I made with all living things on earth.”
18. The sons of Noah came out of the boat with him. They were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
