The Covenant with Noah

God establishes a covenant with Noah after the flood, pledging never again to destroy all living things with a flood. This covenant, described as everlasting, serves not only humanity but also includes all creatures on earth. The implications of this covenant suggest a divine commitment to maintaining the order of creation, emphasizing the continuity of life and the cycles of nature. The rainbow is identified as the sign of this covenant, symbolizing God's promise and peace with humanity and the earth, highlighting both the grace and responsibility bestowed upon Noah and his descendants.
