Genesis 9:7-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. "As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it."

8. Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9. "Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;

10. and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.

11. I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."

12. God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;

13. I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

14. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,

15. and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
