Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons. And he said to them: “Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 And let the fear and trembling of you be upon all the animals of the earth, and upon all the birds of the air, along with all that moves across the earth. All the fish of the sea have been delivered into your hand.
And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
3 And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
4 except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
5 For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also, at the hand of mankind, at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.
And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his brother, will I require the life of Man.
6 Whoever will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.
Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
7 But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”
And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
8 To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:
And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Behold, I will establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living soul that is with you: as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark, and with all the wild beasts of the earth.
and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark — every animal of the earth.
11 I will establish my covenant with you, and no longer will all that is flesh be put to death by the waters of a great flood, and, henceforth, there will not be a great flood to utterly destroy the earth.”
And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said: “This is the sign of the pact that I grant between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:
13 I will place my arc in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the pact between myself and the earth.
I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 And when I obscure the sky with clouds, my arc will appear in the clouds.
And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that enlivens flesh. And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is flesh.
and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the arc will be in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh upon 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 soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said to Noah, “This will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myself and all that is flesh upon the earth.”
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.
18 And so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself is the father of Canaan.
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.
These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
20 And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.
And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
21 And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.
22 Because of this, when Ham, the father of Canaan, had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked, he reported it to his two brothers outside.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
23 And truly, Shem and Japheth put a cloak upon their arms, and, advancing backwards, covered the privates of their father. And their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s manhood.
And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 Then Noah, awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.”
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
26 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, let Canaan be his servant.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
27 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he live in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.”
Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
28 And after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
