10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, every animal of the earth. 11 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall (A)never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, (B)nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is (C)the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for [a]all future generations; 13 I have set My (D)rainbow in the cloud, and it shall [b]serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and (E)I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and (F)never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at it, to remember the (G)everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

18 Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and (H)Ham was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and (I)from these the whole earth was [c]populated.

20 Then Noah began [d]farming and planted a vineyard.

10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant(A) with you:(B) Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.(C)

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(D) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:(E) 13 I have set my rainbow(F) in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow(G) appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant(H) between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.(I) 16 Whenever the rainbow(J) appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant(K) between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant(L) I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
