7 “You must have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth.”
8 God said to Noah and his sons,
9 “I am now making my covenant with you and with your descendants,
10 and with all living beings — all birds and all animals — everything that came out of the boat with you.
11 With these words I make my covenant with you: I promise that never again will all living beings be destroyed by a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth.
12 As a sign of this everlasting covenant which I am making with you and with all living beings,
13 I am putting my bow in the clouds. It will be the sign of my covenant with the world.
