16 “ Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

Go forth from the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

17 B ring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”

Bring forth with thee every animal that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl and of beasts and of every creeping thing that moves upon the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

18 N oah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.

21 Y ahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

And the LORD smelled a savour of rest, and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his childhood; neither will I again smite any more every living thing as I have done.

22 W hile the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
