Genesis 8:21 in Context — Genesis 8
19 Todos os animais, e todo réptil e toda ave, tudo o que se move sobre a terra segundo suas espécies, saíram da arca.
20 E edificou Noé um altar ao SENHOR e tomou de todo animal limpo e de toda ave limpa, e ofereceu holocaustos sobre o altar.
21 E percebeu o SENHOR cheiro suave; e o SENHOR disse em seu coração: Não voltarei mais a amaldiçoar a terra por causa do ser humano; porque o intento do coração do ser humano é mau desde sua juventude: nem voltarei mais a destruir todo vivente, como fiz.
22 Enquanto a terra durar, a sementeira e a colheita, o frio e calor, verão e inverno, dia e noite, não cessarão.
