Genesis 9:12
'And this', God said, 'is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come; I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.' 'That', God told Noah, 'is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.'
