CHAPTER 8, VERSES 20-22

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.

“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

CHAPTER 9, VERSES 8-17

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: NEVER AGAIN WILL ALL LIFE BE CUT OFF BY THE WATERS OF A FLOOD; NEVER AGAIN WILL THERE BE A FLOOD TO DESTROY THE EARTH.”

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my RAINBOW in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the RAINBOW appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the RAINBOW appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Standing out for me, #5, Antonio de Bellis, the 17th c. Italian artist of the Baroque period.

#8 Tissot and #11 Benjamin West are two other favorites.

[delchiante]

Quite the contrast when the black and white art and rainbow is assembled with the vibrant colors of the rainbows in the others.

Thanks for sharing those

[Hebrews 11:6]

Bellis nicely captures the drama of the offering.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you noticed.

[InkStone]

Tremendously, Awesomely and Wonderfully Well Put Together Dan!! Some of your best choices, and God’s Word is so welcome. Thank you.

JAMES TISSOT No. 8 was the only one that shows the husbands and wives formally separated, with heads covered and hands raised in praise.

God bless your ministry Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Many thanks, Leon.

In my view, James Tissot exhibited more clear-eyed thought about translating Scripture to canvas than did all other artists combined. Truly, he allowed the Holy Spirit the freest reign, with obvious results.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Same to you, Mary-Lou!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good Afternoon, Dan - thanks very much for the bountiful array of post-diluvian depictions.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[Hebrews 11:6]

the bountiful array

It seems a favored topic among artists, Tom, so there was a plentitude available.

[SisterK]

The color in the IL BACICCIO painting is extraordinary.
Studying it in person, in a museum or such, is probably very gratifying on many levels.

Can hardly wait for tomorrow...Our ladies Bible study group is reading Genesis these days.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I have about twenty threads still to post from Genesis.
