Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
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 your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea—into your hand they have been given.
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.
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
only flesh in its life—its blood—you do 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:
And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man’s brother I require the life of man;
6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,
And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,
“And I, behold, I am establishing 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 which [is] with you, among bird, among livestock, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the Ark—to every beast of the earth.
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 have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not cut off anymore by waters of a flood, and there is not a flood to destroy the earth anymore.”
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 God says, “This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to continuous generations;
13 I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
and it has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been 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 have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters no longer become a flood to destroy 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 the bow has been in the cloud, and I have seen it—to remember the perpetual covenant between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on 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 says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on 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.
And the sons of Noah who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
20 Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,
21 But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
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 Shem takes—Japheth also—the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father’s nakedness they have not seen.
24 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,
And Noah awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
26 He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.
And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
And Noah lives 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 Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
