20Then Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took some of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21And the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, and the LORD said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. And I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.”

22For as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
