18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
God’s Covenant with Creation
20 Then Noah built an aaltar to the Lord, and took of bevery clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered cburnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled aa soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again bcurse the ground for man’s sake, although the cimagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; dnor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
22 “While the earth aremains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And bday and night
Shall not cease.”
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And bday and night
Shall not cease.”

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Genesis 8:20:
Genesis 8:20-21
Maybe the most extraordinary use of the heart in the Bible is about God here in Genesis 8.
The reference to God's heart in verse 21 is similar to what is applied to humans in the same verse and reminds us that we are created in God's image.
