Genesis, Chapter 9

9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
9:2 And the fear of you+ and the dread of you+ will be on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens; With all by which the ground teems, and all the fish of the sea, into your+ hand they are delivered.
9:3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you+, as I have given you+ everything of the green herb.
9:4 But flesh with its soul, [which is] its blood, you+ will not eat.
9:5 And surely your+ blood, [the blood] of your+ souls, I will require; At the hand of every beast I will require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the soul of man.
9:6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man will his blood be shed: For in the image of God he made man.
9:7 And you+, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.
9:8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9 And I, look, I establish my covenant with you+, and with your+ seed after you+;
9:10 and with every living soul that is with you+, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you+, from all those coming out of the ark to all the beasts of the earth.
9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you+; neither will all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of the flood; neither will there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth.
9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you+ and every living soul that is with you+, for perpetual generations:
9:13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it will be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
9:14 And it will come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,
9:15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you+ and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16 And the bow will be in the cloud; and I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is on the earth.
9:17 And God said to Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.
9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
9:19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth spread over.
9:20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
9:21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunk. And he was uncovered inside his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A slave of slaves he will be to his brothers.
9:26 And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his slave.
9:27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him stay in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his slave.
9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: And he died.
