8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying:
9 “And as for Me, abehold, I establish bMy covenant with you and with your1 descendants after you,
10 aand with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.
11 Thus aI establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 And God said: a“This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I set aMy rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;
15 and aI will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember athe everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

19 aThese three were the sons of Noah, band from these the whole earth was populated.
20 And Noah began to be aa farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Then he drank of the wine aand was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
