Genesis 8:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ Every beast, every creeping thing, every bird—and whatever moves on the land—went forth by families out of the ark.

²⁰ And Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean [four-footed] animal and of every clean fowl or bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

²¹ When the Lord smelled the pleasing odor [a scent of satisfaction to His heart], the Lord said to Himself, I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination (the strong desire) of man’s heart is evil and wicked from his youth; neither will I ever again smite and destroy every living thing, as I have done.
