Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
2 The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.
And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power.
3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.
And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
4 But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
But flesh with blood of life you shall not eat.
5 And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother man.
6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.
7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
But do you increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,
And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.
and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
11 And 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 I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth.
12 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:
And the Lord God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.
13 I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
15 I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.
16 And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”
And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between [every] living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth.
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”
And God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
20 Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
21 But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without.
23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face [was] backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.
24 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,
And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
26 He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
27 May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant.
28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
