Chapter 4 -- God's Covenant With Noah

Taken from Genesis 9:1-17

God blessed Noah and his family and told them to have many children and fill the earth with people.  Then God said, "All the wild animals, large and small, and all the birds and fish will be afraid of you.  I have placed all the animals in your power.  I have given then to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables for food.  Remember you must never eat raw meat, you must cook it.  Remember also, that murder is forbidden.  Any animal that kills a person must die, and any person who murders another person must be killed for their crime.  For it is a sin to kill a person, for all people are made in God's image.

Then God told Noah and Noah's sons, "I am making a promise to you and your descendants." The word descendants means your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and on down the line.  Then God said, "I am also making a promise with the animals and the birds and all of their descendants.  I solemnly promise never to send another flood to kill all living creatures and destroy the earth.  I am giving you a sign as proof of my eternal promise with you and all the living creatures.  I have placed my rainbow in the clouds.  When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will be seen in the clouds.  And I will remember my promise with you and with everything that lives and I will never again send a flood that will destroy all life.

Now you know the meaning of the rainbow that you see in the sky.
