Genesis 9:8-17
Fred Buechner has this to say about this simple, timeworn story of Noah and his covenant with God:
And the turbulent waters of chaos and nightmare are always threatening to burst forth and flood the earth. We hardly need the tale of Noah to tell us that. The New York Times tells us just as well, and our own hearts tell us well, too, because chaos and nightmare have their little days there also. But the tale of Noah tells other truths as well.
