“1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth. 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. 3 Every moving
thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I
given you all things. 4 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the
blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 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. 6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man. 7 And you, be ye fruitful, and
multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.”
“8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I,
behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
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. 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.”
“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: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be
for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come
to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen
in the cloud: 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. 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. 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.”
“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. 19 These [are] the
three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And
Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he
drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his
tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father,
and told his two brethren without. 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.”
“24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had
done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants
shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge Japheth,
and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
servant.”
“28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he
died.” (Ge 9:1-29 AV)
