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 am putting my rainbow in the clouds as the sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
14 When I bring clouds over the earth and a rainbow appears in them,
15 I will remember my agreement between me and you and every living thing. Floods will never again destroy all life on the earth.
16 When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and I will remember the agreement that continues forever between me and every living thing on the earth."
17 So God said to Noah, "The rainbow is a sign of the agreement that I made with all living things on earth.
