Genesis 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 9:15

And I will remember my covenant which is between me and
you, and every living creature of all flesh
See ( Genesis 9:11 Genesis 9:12 ) and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh;
this is repeated to remove those fears which would naturally arise, upon the gathering of the clouds in the heavens; but as God would remember his covenant, which he can never forget; and is always mindful of, so men, when they see the bow in the cloud, may be assured, that whatever waters are in the heavens, they shall never be suffered to fall in such quantity as to destroy all creatures as they have done.

Genesis 9:15 In-Context

13 I have placed my bow in the clouds; it will be the symbol of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds,
15 I will remember the covenant between me and you and every living being among all the creatures. Floodwaters will never again destroy all creatures.
16 The bow will be in the clouds, and upon seeing it I will remember the enduring covenant between God and every living being of all the earth's creatures."
17 God said to Noah, "This is the symbol of the covenant that I have set up between me and all creatures on earth."
