after the flood
Genesis 9:12-16 12
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you
and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds,
and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15 I will remember my covenant between me and you
and all living creatures of every kind.
Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God
and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
