Genesis 9
| 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. |
