Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea 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 [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of 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 Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
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 I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste 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 which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
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 will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between 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 And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear 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 And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
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 the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon 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 And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, This [is] the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.
19 These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father’s nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not 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 And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
