Genesis 8:20-9:17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
God’s Promise to Noah
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.(A) 21 And when the Lord smelled the pleasing odor, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of humans, for the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.(B)
22 As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,
summer and winter, day and night
shall not cease.”(C)
The Covenant with Noah
9 God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.(D) 2 The fear and dread of you shall rest on every animal of the earth and on every bird of the air, on everything that creeps on the ground and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you, and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.(E) 4 Only, you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.(F) 5 For your own lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning: from every animal I will require it and from human beings, each one for the blood of another, I will require a reckoning for human life.(G)
6 Whoever sheds the blood of a human,
by a human shall that person’s blood be shed,
for in his own image
God made humans.(H)
7 “And you, be fruitful and multiply, abound on the earth and have dominion over[a] it.”(I)
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you(J) 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.[b](K) 11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”(L) 12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:(M) 13 I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.(N) 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.(O) 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”(P) 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

New American Standard Bible
20 Then Noah built (A)an altar to the Lord, and took some of every kind of (B)clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered (C)burnt offerings on the altar. 21 The Lord (D)smelled the soothing aroma, and the Lord said [a]to Himself, “I will never again (E)curse the ground on account of man, for (F)the [b]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; (G)and I will never again [c]destroy every living thing, as I have done.
22 While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
(H)Summer and winter,
And (I)day and night
Shall not cease.”
Covenant of the Rainbow
9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “(J)Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every animal of the earth and on every bird of the sky; on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. They are handed over to you. 3 Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I have given everything to you, (K)as I gave the green plant. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, (L)its blood. 5 I certainly will require [d](M)your lifeblood; [e](N)from every animal I will require it. And [f]from every person, [g]from every man as his brother I will require the life of a person.
6 (O)Whoever sheds human blood,
By man his blood shall be shed,
For (P)in the image of God
He made mankind.
7 As for you, (Q)be fruitful and multiply;
[h]Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 “Now behold, (R)I Myself am establishing My covenant with you, and with your [i]descendants after you; 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 (S)never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, (T)nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is (U)the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for [j]all future generations; 13 I have set My (V)rainbow in the cloud, and it shall [k]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 (W)I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and (X)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 (Y)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.”
