Genesis 9
1 And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says 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 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.
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 Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
4 only flesh in its life—its blood—you do not eat.
But flesh with blood of life you shall not eat.
5 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;
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 man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
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 And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
But do you increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8 And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “And I, behold, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 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.
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 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.”
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 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;
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 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a 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 and it has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been seen in the cloud,
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
15 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;
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 And the sons of Noah who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is 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 [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
20 And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
21 and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
22 And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to 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 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.
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 And Noah awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
25 and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
26 And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
27 God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant.
28 And Noah lives after the flood three hundred and fifty years;
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
