And God smelled the smell of Noah's offerings, and He made a covenant with him, that the waters of the flood should not again come upon the earth, henceforth and for ever.
2And this is the covenant God made with Noah.
3God said unto Noah, " I will make the bow of My covenant come out in the cloud; and when it appears, then men shall know that it is done in truth.
4And if I was wroth, when the bow was seen in the cloud, then it would show that My anger and the punishment I meant to bring upon men were over.
5Then, again, O Noah, I have made this bow of My covenant to be seen in heaven,
6in order that all creatures should see it, and think of the trials and afflictions that came upon them at first, and repent, and turn from their evil ways."
7And God accepted Noah's offering, and blessed him and his sons, and said unto them,
8"Be fruitful and multiply, apd replenish the face of the earth."
9Then God commanded the earth to bring forth herb as it did of old, for wild beasts, for birds, and for all that moves on the earth.
10Then Noah worshipped before God, with his sons and their wives; and they praised Him for the salvation He had wrought for them.
