Genesis 8:20 in Context — Genesis 8
18 Et Noé sortit, avec ses fils, sa femme, et les femmes de ses fils.
19 Tous les animaux, tous les reptiles, tous les oiseaux, tout ce qui se meut sur la terre, selon leurs espèces, sortirent de l’arche.
20 Noé bâtit un autel à l’Éternel; il prit de toutes les bêtes pures et de tous les oiseaux purs, et il offrit des holocaustes sur l’autel.
21 L’Éternel sentit une odeur agréable, et l’Éternel dit en son cœur: Je ne maudirai plus la terre, à cause de l’homme, parce que les pensées du cœur de l’homme sont mauvaises dès sa jeunesse; et je ne frapperai plus tout ce qui est vivant, comme je l’ai fait.
22 Tant que la terre subsistera, les semailles et la moisson, le froid et la chaleur, l’été et l’hiver, le jour et la nuit ne cesseront point.
