1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful , and multiply , and replenish the earth .
2
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth , and upon every bird of the heavens ; With all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea , into your hand are they delivered.
3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; As the green herb have I given you all.
4
But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat .
5
And surely your blood , [the blood ] of your lives , will I require ; At the hand of every beast will I require it. And at the hand of man , even at the hand of every man 's brother , will I require the life of man .
6
Whoso sheddeth man's blood , by man shall his blood be shed: For in the image of God made he man.
7
And you, be ye fruitful , and multiply ; Bring forth abundantly in the earth , and multiply therein.
8
And God spake unto Noah , and to his sons with him, saying,
9
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 cattle, and every beast of the earth with you. Of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth .
11
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth .
12
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 do set my bow in the cloud , and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth .
14
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, 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 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 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 Noah , that went forth from the ark, were Shem , and Ham , and Japheth : and Ham is the father of Canaan .
19
These three were the sons of Noah : and of these was the whole earth overspread.
20
And Noah began to be a husbandman , and planted a vineyard :
21
and he drank of the wine , and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent .
22
And Ham , the father of Canaan , saw the nakedness of his father , and told his two brethren without.
23
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 Noah awoke from his wine , and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25
And he said , Cursed be Canaan ; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren .
26
And he said , Blessed be Jehovah , the God of Shem ; And let Canaan be his servant .
27
God enlarge Japheth , And let him dwell in the tents of Shem ; And let Canaan be his servant .
28
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: And he died .
