GE-9:1  And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be

fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

GE-9:2  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.

GE-9:3  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;

even as

the green herb have I given you all things.

GE-9:4  But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood

thereof,

shall ye not eat.

GE-9:5  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at

the

hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man;

at the

hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

GE-9:6  Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be

shed:

for in the image of God made he man.

GE-9:7  And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth

abundantly

in the earth, and multiply therein.

GE-9:8  And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him,

saying,

GE-9:9  And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and

with your

seed after you;

GE-9:10  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.

GE-9:11  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.

GE-9:12  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:

GE-9:13  I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a

token of

a covenant between me and the earth.

GE-9:14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the

earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

GE-9:15  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.

GE-9:16  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.

GE-9:17  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.

GE-9:18  And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were

Shem,

and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.

GE-9:19  These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the

whole

earth overspread.

GE-9:20  And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a

vineyard:

GE-9:21  And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was

uncovered within his tent.

GE-9:22  And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his

father, and told his two brethren without.

GE-9:23  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.

GE-9:24  And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger

son

had done unto him.

GE-9:25  And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants

shall

he be unto his brethren.

GE-9:26  And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and

Canaan

shall be his servant.

GE-9:27  God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the

tents of

Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

GE-9:28  And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty

years.

GE-9:29  And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty

years:

and he died.
