"And God said to Noah and to his sons, ¡§Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you, and with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you. And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.¡¨ And God said, ¡§This is the sign of agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations: I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth. And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh. And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.¡¨ And God said to Noah, ¡§This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.¡¨"

Taken from Bible, chapter 9, verse 8-17

God told Noah, "Now you can leave the ark and go out to start new lives." They thanked God for protecting them. They then collected many stones and built a very big and tall altar. They cooked food and made offerings to God. At that time, a rainbow appeared in the sky, with which God showed Hiers compassion, and kindly promised Noah, "From now on, I won't destroy the world again." God made this promise so that people could start new lives.
