# The Rainbow of God’s Promise

Genesis 8:20–9:17

The flood was over. Every living thing on earth was killed. Only the animals and people in the ark came through alive. Noah knew what he should do first. He built an altar and gave gifts to God. This way Noah thanked God for saving his family.

God made a promise: “Never again will a flood destroy all life. The four seasons will come and go forever. The earth is yours, Noah. Rule it well.”

Suddenly, the first rainbow curved through the sky. Now every time there is a rainbow, people remember God’s promise to Noah.

Questions: What was the first thing Noah did after the flood? What was God’s promise to Noah?
