Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
5 I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his brother, will I require the life of Man.
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.

9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark — every animal of the earth.
11 I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.
12 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:
And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 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 every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh 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 soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.

And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.

26 He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
