Genesis 9
1 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 And the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are 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 moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
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 flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat.
5 And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
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 takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
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 as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 "And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
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 I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again 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 God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual 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 I set my rainbow in the cloud, 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 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be 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 will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more 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 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh 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 God said to Noah, "This is the sign 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 The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is 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 were the three 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 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within 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 naked 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 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, and 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 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew 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, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
26 He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let 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 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
