1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
2And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fish of the sea, I have placed them under your power.
3And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
4But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat.
5For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of his brother man.
6He that sheds man’s blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.
7But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
11And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not anymore die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth.
12And the Lord God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.
13I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
14And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.
16And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between every living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth.
17And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.
18Now the sons of Noah which came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, Japheth. And Ham was father of Canaan.
19These three are the sons of Noah, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
20And Noah began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
21And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
22And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without.
23And Shem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face was backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.
24And Noah recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
25And he said, Cursed be the servant Canaan, A slave shall he be to his brethren.
26And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, And Canaan shall be his bondservant.
27May God make room for Japheth, And let him dwell in the habitations of Shem, And let Canaan be his servant.
28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
