1
And God blesseth Noah , and his sons, and saith to them, `Be fruitful , and multiply , and fill the earth ;
2
and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth , and on every fowl of the heavens , on all that creepeth on the ground , and on all fishes of the sea -- into your hand they have been given .
3
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food ; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4
only flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do 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 ;
6
whoso sheddeth man's blood , by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
7
And ye, be fruitful and multiply , teem in the earth , and multiply in it.'
8
And God speaketh unto Noah , and unto his sons with him, saying,
9
`And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10
and with every living creature which [is] with you, among fowl , among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark -- to every beast of the earth .
11
And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy the earth .'
12
And God saith , `This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during;
13
My bow I have given in the cloud , and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth ;
14
and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth ) that the bow hath been 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 become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh ;
16
and the bow hath been in the cloud , and I have seen it -- to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth .'
17
And God saith unto Noah , `This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [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 .
19
These three [are] sons of Noah , and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
20
And Noah remaineth a man of the ground , and planteth a vineyard ,
21
and drinketh of the wine , and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent .
22
And Ham , father of Canaan , seeth the nakedness of his father , and declareth to his two brethren without.
23
And Shem taketh -- 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 .
24
And Noah awaketh from his wine , and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,
25
and saith : `Cursed [is] Canaan , Servant of servants he is to his brethren .'
26
And he saith : `Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem , And Canaan is servant to him.
27
God doth give beauty to Japheth , And he dwelleth in tents of Shem , And Canaan is servant to him.'
28
And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
29
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth .
