Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 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.
And the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 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.
And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
6 Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
"And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 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.
and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
11 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.
I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 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:
God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 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.
and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
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 soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
