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.

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.”

What Does Genesis 9:11 Mean?



Genesis 9:8-17

The events and challenges Noah faced were not concluded until God sealed a covenant with post-Flood humanity. Some massively destructive events have occurred on earth, but except for the Flood, they have all been localized events, despite affecting millions of people: volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, and extremes of weather. The Flood is by far the most devastating event ever to occur on Planet Earth since God created Adam and Eve. Except for the eight people God sanctified before Noah began his work, it executed the population of the entire earth in one massive judgment determined and accomplished by the sovereign God. No destructive event comes close to matching it.
