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 bow in the clouds. It will be the sign of my covenant with the world.

14 Whenever I cover the sky with clouds and the rainbow appears,

15 I will remember my promise to you and to all the animals that a flood will never again destroy all living beings.

16 When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between me and all living beings on earth.

17 That is the sign of the promise which I am making to all living beings."
