God's Covenant with Noah

⁸ Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: ⁹ "And as for Me, _m behold, I establish _n My covenant with you and with your ₁ descendants after you, ¹⁰ _o "and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. ¹¹ "Thus _p I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." ¹² And God said: _q "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: ¹³ "I set _r My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ "It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; ¹⁵ "and _s I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ "The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember _t the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." ¹⁷ And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."
