11. I make this agreement with you: I will never again destroy all living things by a flood. A flood will never again destroy the earth.”
12. And God said, “This is the sign of the agreement between me and you and every living creature that is with you.
13. I am putting my rainbow in the clouds as the sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
14. When I bring clouds over the earth and a rainbow appears in them,
15. I will remember my agreement between me and you and every living thing. Floods will never again destroy all life on the earth.
16. When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and I will remember the agreement that continues forever between me and every living thing on the earth.”
17. So God said to Noah, “The rainbow is a sign of the agreement that I made with all living things on earth.”
18. The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with him were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
19. These three men were Noah’s sons, and all the people on earth came from these three sons.
