Is anything impossible<n id="1" /> for the <sc>Lordsc>? I will return to you when the season comes round again and Sarah will have a son.&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">He recognized it and exclaimed, &#8220;It is my son&#8217;s tunic! A wild animal has eaten him!<n id="1" /> Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">God said, &#8220;Let the water swarm with swarms<n id="1" /> of living creatures and let birds fly<n id="2" /> above the earth across the expanse of the sky.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">God said, &#8220;Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals, each according to its kind.&#8221;<n id="1" /> It was so.

The <sc>Lordsc> God formed<n id="1" /> the man from the soil of the ground<n id="2" /> and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,<n id="3" /> and the man became a living being.<n id="4" />p>

For your lifeblood<n id="1" /> I will surely exact punishment,<n id="2" /> from<n id="3" /> every living creature I will exact punishment. From each person<n id="4" /> I will exact punishment for the life of the individual<n id="5" /> since the man was his relative.<n id="6" />p>

<p class="bodytext">And God said, &#8220;This is the guarantee<n id="1" /> of the covenant I am making<n id="2" /> with you<n id="3" /> and every living creature with you, a covenant<n id="4" /> for all subsequent<n id="5" /> generations:

When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will notice it and remember<n id="1" /> the perpetual covenant between God and all living creatures of all kinds that are on the earth.&#8221; p>

One of them<n id="1" /> said, &#8220;I will surely return<n id="2" /> to you when the season comes round again,<n id="3" /> and your wife Sarah will have a son!&#8221;<n id="4" /> (Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, not far behind him.<n id="5" />

Come now, let&#8217;s kill him, throw him into one of the cisterns, and then say that a wild<n id="1" /> animal ate him. Then we&#8217;ll see how his dreams turn out!&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">God blessed<n id="1" /> them and said<n id="2" /> to them, &#8220;Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it!<n id="3" /> Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.&#8221;<n id="4" />

And to all the animals of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to all the creatures that move on the ground &#8211; everything that has the breath of life in it &#8211; I give<n id="1" /> every green plant for food.&#8221; It was so.p>

The <sc>Lordsc> God formed<n id="1" /> out of the ground every living animal of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would<n id="2" /> name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

then I will remember my covenant with you<n id="1" /> and with all living creatures of all kinds.<n id="2" /> Never again will the waters become a flood and destroy<n id="3" /> all living things.<n id="4" />
