Genesis 8:17-22 ▼

17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”

18 And Noah goes out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;

19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the Ark.

20 And Noah builds an altar to YHWH, and takes from every clean beast and from every clean bird, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

21 and YHWH smells the refreshing fragrance, and YHWH says to His heart, “I do not continue to disfavor the ground because of man anymore, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I do not continue to strike all living anymore, as I have done;

22 during all [the] days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night never cease.”
