¹ And God blessed Noaḥ and his sons, and said to them, Be·​·fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.

² And let the fear of you and the terror^* of you be on every animal of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens; to everything that the ground makes to creep forth, and to all the fish of the sea, into your hand let them be given.

³ Every creeping thing that lives shall be for you for food; as the green^◦ herb have I given it all to you.

⁴ Only^▵ the flesh with its soul, its blood, you shall not eat.

⁵ And surely your blood I will require of your souls; from the hand of every wild·​·animal I will require it; and from the hand of man, from the hand of a man^◦ his brother, I will require the soul of man.

⁶ Whoever sheds man’s blood in man^*, his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God made He man.

⁷ And you^◦, be· ye ·fruitful, and multiply; crawl forth on^◦ the earth, and multiply in it.

⁸ And God said to^▵ Noaḥ, and to^▵ his sons with^◦ him, saying,

⁹ And I^◦, behold, I raise·​·up My covenant with^◦ you, and with^◦ your seed after you;

¹⁰ and with^◦ every living soul that is with^◦ you, even to the fowl, to the beast, and to every wild·​·animal of the land with^◦ you; of all that go·​·out of the ark^◦, as·​·to every wild·​·animal of the land.

¹¹ And I will raise·​·up my covenant with^◦ you; neither shall all flesh be cut·​·off any·​·more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there be any·​·more a flood to destroy the earth.

¹² And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I^◦ give between Me and you and every living soul that is with^◦ you, for the generations of an age;

¹³ I have put^◦ My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

¹⁴ And it shall be, in clouding Myself with a cloud on 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 soul among^◦ all flesh; and the waters shall no^◦ more^◦ be for a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will see it, to remember the eternal covenant between God and every living soul among^◦ all flesh that is upon the earth.

¹⁷ And God said to^▵ Noaḥ, This is the sign of the covenant which I have raised·​·up between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.

¹⁸ And the sons of Noaḥ, who went·​·out from the ark^◦, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham, he^◦ is the father of Canaan.

¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noaḥ; and from these was scattered all the earth.

²⁰ And Noaḥ began to be a man^◦ of the ground, and he planted a vineyard;

²¹ and he drank from the wine and was·​·drunken; and he was uncovered in the midst of his tent.

²² And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

²³ And Shem and Japheth took the raiment, and set it upon the shoulders of the two of them, and walked^◦ backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.

²⁴ And Noaḥ awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger^◦ son had done to him.

²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.

²⁶ And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; and Canaan shall be a servant to him.

²⁷ May God enlarge^◦ Japheth, and he shall reside in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be a servant to him.

²⁸ And Noaḥ lived after the flood three hundred years and fifty years.

²⁹ And all the days of Noaḥ were nine hundred years and fifty years; and he died.
