7Be fruitful, and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."
8God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9"As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every animal of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every animal of the earth.
11I will establish my covenant with you; neither will all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither will there any more be a flood to destroy the earth."
12God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
