ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ

The Septuagint 9.16 · 9.16

That I may remember

καὶ ἔσται τὸ τόξον μου ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ, καὶ ὄψομαι τοῦ μνησθῆναι διαθήκην αἰώνιον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον πάσης ψυχῆς ζώσης ἐν πάσῃ σαρκὶ ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

The setting

The rainbow is not for humankind to remember God, but for God to remember the covenant — the sign is fixed on God's own future action, not on human ritual observance.
