1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Bring forth fruit, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2Also the fear of you, and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the heaven, upon all that moveth on the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
3Everything that moveth and liveth, shall be meat for you: as the green herb, have I given you all things.
4But flesh with the life thereof, I mean, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5For surely I will require your blood, wherein your lives are: at the hands of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of a man’s brother will I require the life of man.
6Who so sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.
7But bring ye forth fruit and multiply: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
8God spake also to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9Behold, I, even I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10And with every living creature that is with you, with the fowl, with the cattle, and with every beast of the earth with you, from all that go out of the Ark, unto every beast of the earth.
11And my covenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by the waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth anymore.
12Then God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you, and between every living thing that is with you unto perpetual generations.
13I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14And when I shall cover the earth with a cloud, and the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15Then will I remember my covenant which is between me and you, and between every living thing in all flesh, and there shall be no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16Therefore the bow shall be in the cloud, that I may see it, and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living thing, in all flesh that is upon the earth.
17God said yet to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18Now the sons of Noah going forth of the Ark, were Shem and Ham and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19These are the three sons of Noah, and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20Noah also began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
21And he drunk of the wine, and was drunken, and was uncovered in the midst of his tent.
22And when Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, he told his two brethren without.
23Then took Shem and Japheth a garment, and put it upon both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father with their faces backward: so they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him,
25And said, Cursed be Canaan: a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26He said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
27God persuade Japheth, that he may dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
