17 Bring out every animal that's with you: birds, domestic animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth. Be fertile, increase in number, and spread over the earth.| 18 So Noah came out with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives. 19 Every animal, crawling creature, and bird-everything that moves on the earth-came out of the ship, one kind after another. 20 Noah built an altar to the LORD. On it he made a burnt offering of each type of clean animal and clean bird. 21 The LORD smelled the soothing aroma. He said to himself, |I will never again curse the ground because of humans, even though from birth their hearts are set on nothing but evil. I will never again kill every living creature as I have just done. 22 As long as the earth exists, planting and harvesting, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never stop.| Genesis 8:17-22, God's Word Translation.
