And God spake unto Noah, saying, (8:15) Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee (8:16) 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 (8:17) And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: (8:18) Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark (8:19) 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 (8:20) 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 (8:21) While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease
(8:22)
