Genesis 8:19-21
Evangelical Heritage Version
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever swarms on the earth went out of the ship, species by species.[a]
20 Noah built an altar to the Lord and took from every clean animal and every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasant aroma. The Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the soil anymore because of man, for the thoughts he forms in his heart are evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike every living thing, as I have done.
