Genesis 8:15-9:3
New International Version
Genesis 8:15-9:3
New International Version
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.(A) 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”(B)
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.(C) 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord(D) and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean(E) birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings(F) on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma(G) and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground(H) because of humans, even though[a] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.(I) And never again will I destroy(J) all living creatures,(K) as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,(L)
cold and heat,
summer and winter,(M)
day and night
will never cease.”(N)
God’s Covenant With Noah
9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.(O) 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.(P) 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you.(Q) Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.(R)

King James Version
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
