18. So Noaḥ went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him,
19. every beast, every creeping creature, and every bird, whatever creeps on the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
20. And Noaḥ built an altar to יהוה, and took of every clean beast and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21. And יהוה smelled a soothing fragrance, and יהוה said in His heart, “Never again shall I curse the ground because of man, although the inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth, and never again smite all living creatures, as I have done,
22. as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”
