| | Gen 9:1 | And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
| |
| | Gen 9:2 | "The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.
| |
| | Gen 9:3 | "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
| |
| | Gen 9:4 | "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
| |
| | Gen 9:5 | "Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man's brother I will require the life of man.
| |
| | Gen 9:6 | "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.
| |
| | Gen 9:7 | "As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it."
| |
| | Gen 9:8 | Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
| |
| | Gen 9:9 | "Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;
| |
| | Gen 9:10 | and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
| |
| | Gen 9:11 | "I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."
| |
| | Gen 9:12 | God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;
| |
| | Gen 9:13 | I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
| |
| | Gen 9:14 | "It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,
| |
| | Gen 9:15 | and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
| |
| | Gen 9:16 | "When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
| |
| | Gen 9:17 | And 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."
| |
| | Gen 9:18 | Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.
| |
| | Gen 9:19 | These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
| |
| | Gen 9:20 | Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.
| |
| | Gen 9:21 | He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.
| |
| | Gen 9:22 | Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
| |
| | Gen 9:23 | But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.
| |
| | Gen 9:24 | When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
| |
| | Gen 9:25 | So he said, "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers."
| |
| | Gen 9:26 | He also said, "Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
| |
| | Gen 9:27 | "May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant."
| |
| | Gen 9:28 | Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
| |
| | Gen 9:29 | So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
