Passage themes

The pleasing sacrifice — the LORD smelled a sweet savour
The end of the curse — I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake
An evil heart from childhood — the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth
Life spared — neither will I again smite any more every thing living
Remembering the flood — as I have done
