8. This also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
9. Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
10. And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
11. I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
12. And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I will give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
13. I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
14. And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
15. And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16. And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
17. And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
18. And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
19. These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
20. And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21. And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
