9:1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
9:2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.
9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
9:4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
9:5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.
9:6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.
9:7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
9:8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
9:9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you
9:10 and with every living creature that was with you–the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you–every living creature on earth.
9:11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
9:12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
9:13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
9:14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
9:15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
9:17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
9:18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
9:19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth.
9:20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
9:21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.
9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
9:23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father’s nakedness.
9:24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him,
9:25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”
9:26 He also said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.
9:27 May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.”
9:28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years.
9:29 Altogether, Noah lived 950 years, and then he died.
9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
9:2 And the fear of you and the terror of you shall be upon every animal of the earth and upon every bird of heaven, on everything that creeps on the ground and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.
9:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; just as I gave you the green herb, so I have given you everything.
9:4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
9:5 And indeed your lifeblood I will require; from every animal I will require it. And from every man, from every man s brother, I will require the life of man.
9:6 Whoever sheds man s blood, / By man shall his blood be shed, / For in the image of God / He made man.
9:7 And you, be fruitful and multiply; / Abound on the earth and multiply in it.
9:8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9 And I Myself now establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you
9:10 And with every living animal that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that came out of the ark, every animal of the earth.
9:11 And I establish My covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.
9:12 And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living animal that is with you, for perpetual generations:
9:13 I set My bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
9:14 And when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds,
9:15 I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living animal of all flesh, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16 And the bow will be in the clouds, and I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living animal of all flesh that is upon the earth.
9:17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
9:18 Now the sons of Noah who came forth from the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
9:19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was spread over.
9:20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
9:21 And he drank of the wine and became drunk. And he uncovered himself inside his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders, and they walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father s nakedness.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan: / A servant of servants / Shall he be to his brothers.
9:26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, / The God of Shem; / And let Canaan be his servant.
9:27 May God enlarge Japheth, / And let him dwell in the tents of Shem, / And let Canaan be his servant.
9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred fifty years.
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and he died.
