1 God said to Noah and his sons: I am giving you my blessing. Have a lot of children and grandchildren, so people will live everywhere on this earth.
2 All animals, birds, reptiles, and fish will be afraid of you. I have placed them under your control,
3 and I have given them to you for food. From now on, you may eat them, as well as the green plants that you have always eaten.
4 But life is in the blood, and you must not eat any meat that still has blood in it.
7 I want you and your descendants to have many children, so people will live everywhere on earth.
8 Again, God said to Noah and his sons:
9 I am going to make a solemn promise to you and to everyone who will live after you.
10 This includes the birds and the animals that came out of the boat.
11 I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood.
14 When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures. Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life.
16 When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature.
17 The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.
Le premier signe d'alliance L'arc-en-ciel apparaît pour la première fois dans la Bible comme un signe d'alliance : Dieu le place dans le ciel après le déluge pour promettre qu'il ne détruira plus jamais la terre par les eaux (Genèse 9:13-15).
