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.
