Genesis 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 9:12

And God said, this is the token of the covenant which I
make between me and you
Meaning the bow in the cloud, and which might be formed in the cloud at this time, that Noah might see it, and know it when he saw it again, and seems to be pointed unto: "this is the token"; or sign of the covenant made between God and Noah, and his sons: and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual
generations;
which more clearly shows and proves, that this covenant reaches to all creatures that then were, or should be in all ages, to the end of the world.

Genesis 9:12 In-Context

10 et ad omnem animam viventem quae est vobiscum tam in volucribus quam in iumentis et pecudibus terrae cunctis quae egressa sunt de arca et universis bestiis terrae
11 statuam pactum meum vobiscum et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram
12 dixitque Deus hoc signum foederis quod do inter me et vos et ad omnem animam viventem quae est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas
13 arcum meum ponam in nubibus et erit signum foederis inter me et inter terram
14 cumque obduxero nubibus caelum apparebit arcus meus in nubibus
