Genesis 9:10
“And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 9Meaning
God explicitly includes the living creatures of the earth within the covenant announced after the flood.
Read carefully
The verse broadens covenant concern beyond humanity and should not be read as though nonhuman creation were irrelevant to God's promise.
Reflection
The post-flood promise embraces a shared world in which human and animal life are both named before God.
