16. “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
17. Every animal that is with you of all flesh, including the flying creatures, livestock and every crawling creature that crawls on the land, bring out with you, and let them swarm in the land and be fruitful and multiply upon the land.”
18. So Noah came out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives.
19. Every animal—every crawling creature, every flying creature, everything that crawls upon the land—came out from the ark in their families.
20. Then Noah built an altar to Adonai and he took of every clean domestic animal and of every clean flying creature and he offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21. When Adonai smelled the soothing aroma, Adonai said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, even though the inclination of the heart of humankind is evil from youth. Nor will I ever again smite all living creatures, as I have done.
22. While all the days of the land remain, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will not cease.”
