Genesis 9:17
“And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 9Meaning
God closes the covenant declaration by identifying the bow once more as the sign of his promise toward all flesh.
Read carefully
The repetition is deliberate covenant emphasis, not redundant filler; it fixes the sign's meaning inside this particular promise.
Reflection
The narrative ends the covenant speech with clarity: the sign points to God's established commitment toward living creation.
