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 will put my rainbow in the clouds to be a sign of my promise to the earth.
14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth, a rainbow will appear in the clouds.
15 Then I will remember my promise to you and every living animal. Never again will water become a flood to destroy all life.
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember my everlasting promise to every living animal on earth."
17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth."
