Genesis 9

And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

The fear and the terror of you shall be [instinctive] in every animal of the land and in every bird of the air; and together with everything that moves on the ground, and with all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; I give you everything, as I gave you the green plants and vegetables.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

But you shall not eat meat along with its life, that is, its blood.

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

For your lifeblood I will most certainly require an accounting; from every animal [that kills a person] I will require it. And from man, from every man’s brother [that is, anyone who murders] I will require the life of man.

And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

“Now behold, I am establishing My covenant (binding agreement, solemn promise) with you and with your descendants after you

And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals of the earth along with you, of everything that comes out of the ark—every living creature of the earth.

And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

I will establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the water of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to destroy and ruin the earth.”

And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

And God said, “This is the token (visible symbol, memorial) of the [solemn] covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations;

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:

I set My rainbow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

It shall come about, when I bring clouds over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the clouds,

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

and I will [compassionately] remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again will the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

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.

When the rainbow is in the clouds and I look at it, I will [solemnly] remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

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.

And God said to Noah, “This [rainbow] is the sign of the covenant (solemn pledge, binding agreement) which I have established between Me and all living things on the earth.”

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.

The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth. Ham would become the father of Canaan.

And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

These are the three sons of Noah, and from these [men] the whole earth was populated and scattered with inhabitants.

These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

And Noah began to farm and cultivate the ground and he planted a vineyard.

And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he was uncovered and lay exposed inside his tent.

And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

Ham, the father of Canaan, saw [by accident] the nakedness of his father, and [to his father’s shame] told his two brothers outside.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

So Shem and Japheth took a robe and put it on both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.

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.

When Noah awoke from his wine [induced stupor], he knew what his younger son [Ham] had done to him.

And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

So he said,

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

He also said,

God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.

And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
