A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
RAINBOW. (Gen. 9:8-29)

I do set my bow in the cloud--set, that is, constitute or appoint. This common and familiar phenomenon being made the pledge of peace, its appearance when showers began to fall would be welcomed with the liveliest feelings of joy.

14 For [1063] by one [3391] offering [4376] he hath perfected [5048] for [1519] ever [1336] them that are sanctified [37].
15 Whereof [1161] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] also [2532] is a witness [3140] to us [2254]: for [1063] after [3326] that he had said before [4280],
16 This [3778] is the covenant [1242] that [3739] I will make [1303] with [4314] them [846] after [3326] those [1565] days [2250], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], I will put [1325] my [3450] laws [3551] into [1909] their [846] hearts [2588], and [2532] in [1909] their [846] minds [1271] will I write [1924] them [846];
17 And [2532] their [846] sins [266] and [2532] iniquities [458] [846] will I remember [3415] no [3364] more [2089].
18 Now [1161] where [3699] remission [859] of these [5130] is, there is no more [3765] offering [4376] for [4012] sin [266].
10 For [1063] as many as [3745] are [1526] of [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551] are [1526] under [5259] the curse [2671]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Cursed [1944] is every one [3956] that [3739] continueth [1696] not [3756] in [1722] all things [3956] which [3588] are written [1125] in [1722] the book [975] of the law [3551] to do [4160] them [846].
11 But [1161] that [3754] no man [3762] is justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] in the sight [3844] of God [2316], it is evident [1212]: for [3754], The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102].
12 And [1161] the law [3551] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] faith [4102]: but [235], The man [444] that doeth [4160] them [846] shall live [2198] in [1722] them [846].
13 Christ [5547] hath redeemed [1805] us [2248] from [1537] the curse [2671] of the law [3551], being made [1096] a curse [2671] for [5228] us [2257]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Cursed [1944] is every one [3956] that hangeth [2910] on [1909] a tree [3586]:
14 That [2443] the blessing [2129] of Abraham [11] might come [1096] on [1519] the Gentiles [1484] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; that [2443] we might receive [2983] the promise [1860] of the Spirit [4151] through [1223] faith [4102].
11 In [08141] the six [08337] hundredth [03967] year [08141] of Noah's [05146] life [02416], in the second [08145] month [02320], the seventeenth [07651] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320], the same [02088] day [03117] were all the fountains [04599] of the great [07227] deep [08415] broken up [01234], and the windows [0699] of heaven [08064] were opened [06605].
13 Speak [01696] thou also unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Verily [0389] my sabbaths [07676] ye shall keep [08104]: for it is a sign [0226] between me and you throughout your generations [01755]; that ye may know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] that doth sanctify [06942] you.
16 And the bow [07198] shall be in the cloud [06051]; and I will look upon it [07200], that I may remember [02142] the everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] between [0996] God [0430] and [0996] every living [02416] creature [05315] of all flesh [01320] that is upon the earth [0776].
15 And I will remember [02142] my covenant [01285], which is between me and you and every living [02416] creature [05315] of all flesh [01320]; and the waters [04325] shall no more [05750] become a flood [03999] to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320].
12 And God [0430] said [0559], This is the token [0226] of the covenant [01285] which I [0589] make [05414] between me and you and every living [02416] creature [05315] that is with you, for perpetual [05769] generations [01755]:
13 I do set [05414] my bow [07198] in the cloud [06051], and it shall be for a token [0226] of a covenant [01285] between me and the earth [0776].
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring [06049] a cloud [06051] over the earth [0776], that the bow [07198] shall be seen [07200] in the cloud [06051]:
13 I do set [05414] my bow [07198] in the cloud [06051], and it shall be for a token [0226] of a covenant [01285] between me and the earth [0776].
