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 Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 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 the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [on] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
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 moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things:
4 But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
But flesh with the life of it, [which is] its blood, shall ye 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 surely your blood of your lives will I require: at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man's brother will 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 sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,
And God spoke 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 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 that [is] with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you, from all that go 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 will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy 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 God said, This [is] the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that [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 do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be 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 shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the 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 every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more 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 shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [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 Noah, This [is] the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that [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.
And the sons of Noah that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [was] the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
These three [were] the sons of Noah: and from them was the whole earth overspread.
20 Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
And Noah 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 drunken, and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren 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 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what 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] Canaan, a servant of servants 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 Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
And Noah 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 Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
