[1] God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. [2] The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand. [3] Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you. [4] But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat. [5] I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man. [6] Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. [7] Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly on the earth, and multiply in it.” [8] God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, [9] “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you, [10] and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth. [11] I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” [12] 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 set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth. [14] When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, [15] 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] The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” [17] 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.” [18] The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. [19] These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. [20] Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. [21] He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. [22] Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. [23] Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness. [24] Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. [25] He said,
“Canaan is cursed.
He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.” [26] He said,
“Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem.
Let Canaan be his servant.
[27] May God enlarge Japheth.
Let him dwell in the tents of Shem.
Let Canaan be his servant.” [28] Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. [29] All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
King James Version
[1] And God H430 blessed H1288 H853 Noah H5146 and H853 his sons, H1121 and said H559 unto them, Be fruitful, H6509 and multiply, H7235 and replenish H4390 H853 the earth. H776 [2] And the fear of you H4172 and the dread of you H2844 shall be H1961 upon H5921 every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth, H776 and upon H5921 every H3605 fowl H5775 of the air, H8064 upon all H3605 that H834 moveth H7430 upon the earth, H127 and upon all H3605 the fishes H1709 of the sea; H3220 into your hand H3027 are they delivered. H5414 [3] Every H3605 moving thing H7431 that H834 H1931 liveth H2416 shall be H1961 meat H402 for you; even as the green H3418 herb H6212 have I given H5414 you H853 all things. H3605 [4] But H389 flesh H1320 with the life thereof, H5315 which is the blood thereof, H1818 shall ye H398 not H3808 eat. H398 [5] And surely H389 H853 your blood H1818 of your lives H5315 will I require; H1875 at the hand H3027 of every H3605 beast H2416 will I require it, H1875 and at the hand H3027 of man; H120 at the hand H3027 of every man’s H376 brother H251 will I require H1875 H853 the life H5315 of man. H120 [6] Whoso sheddeth H8210 man’s H120 blood, H1818 by man H120 shall H8210 his blood H1818 be shed: H8210 for H3588 in the image H6754 of God H430 made H6213 he H6213 H853 man. H120 [7] And you, H859 be ye fruitful, H6509 and multiply; H7235 bring forth abundantly H8317 in the earth, H776 and multiply H7235 therein.

The Rainbow

[8] And God H430 spake H559 unto H413 Noah, H5146 and to H413 his sons H1121 with him, H854 saying, H559 [9] And I, H589 behold, I H2005 establish H6965 H853 my covenant H1285 with you, H854 and with H854 your seed H2233 after you; H310 [10] and with H854 every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 that H834 is with you, H854 of the fowl, H5775 of the cattle, H929 and of every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth H776 with you; H854 from all H3605 that go out H3318 of the ark, H8392 to every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth. H776 [11] And I will establish H6965 H853 my covenant H1285 with you; H854 neither H3808 shall H3772 all H3605 flesh H1320 be cut off H3772 any more H5750 by the waters H4325 of a flood; H3999 neither H3808 shall there H1961 any more H5750 be H1961 a flood H3999 to destroy H7843 the earth. H776 [12] And God H430 said, H559 This H2063 is the token H226 of the covenant H1285 which H834 I H589 make H5414 between me H996 and you H996 and H996 every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 that H834 is with you, H854 for perpetual H5769 generations: H1755 [13] I H5414 do set H5414 H853 my bow H7198 in the cloud, H6051 and it shall be H1961 for a token H226 of a covenant H1285 between me H996 and H996 the earth. H776 [14] And it shall come to pass, H1961 when I bring H6049 a cloud H6051 over H5921 the earth, H776 that the bow H7198 shall be seen H7200 in the cloud: H6051 [15] and I will remember H2142 H853 my covenant, H1285 which H834 is between me H996 and you H996 and H996 every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 of all H3605 flesh; H1320 and the waters H4325 shall H1961 no H3808 more H5750 become H1961 a flood H3999 to destroy H7843 all H3605 flesh. H1320 [16] And the bow H7198 shall be H1961 in the cloud; H6051 and I will look upon it, H7200 that I may remember H2142 the everlasting H5769 covenant H1285 between H996 God H430 and H996 every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 of all H3605 flesh H1320 that H834 is upon H5921 the earth. H776 [17] And God H430 said H559 unto H413 Noah, H5146 This H2063 is the token H226 of the covenant, H1285 which H834 I have established H6965 between me H996 and H996 all H3605 flesh H1320 that H834 is upon H5921 the earth. H776 [18] And the sons H1121 of Noah, H5146 that went forth H3318 of H4480 the ark, H8392 were H1961 Shem, H8035 and Ham, H2526 and Japheth: H3315 and Ham H2526 H1931 is the father H1 of Canaan. H3667§ [19] These H428 are the three H7969 sons H1121 of Noah: H5146 and of them H428 was H5310 the whole H3605 earth H776 overspread. H5310 [20] And Noah H5146 began H2490 to be an husbandman, H376 H127 and he planted H5193 a vineyard: H3754 [21] and he drank H8354 of H4480 the wine, H3196 and was drunken; H7937 and he was uncovered H1540 within H8432 his tent. H168 [22] And Ham, H2526 the father H1 of Canaan, H3667 saw H7200 H853 the nakedness H6172 of his father, H1 and told H5046 his two H8147 brethren H251 without. H2351 [23] And Shem H8035 and Japheth H3315 took H3947 H853 a garment, H8071 and laid H7760 it upon H5921 both H8147 their shoulders, H7926 and went H3212 backward, H322 and covered H3680 H853 the nakedness H6172 of their father; H1 and their faces H6440 were backward, H322 and they saw H7200 not H3808 their father’s H1 nakedness. H6172 [24] And Noah H5146 awoke H3364 from his wine, H3196 and knew H3045 H853 what H834 his younger H6996 son H1121 had done H6213 unto him. [25] And he said, H559
Cursed H779 be Canaan; H3667
A servant H5650 of servants H5650 shall he be H1961 unto his brethren. H251
[26] And he said, H559
Blessed H1288 be the Lord H3068 God H430 of Shem; H8035
And Canaan H3667 shall be H1961 his servant. H5650§
[27] God H430 shall enlarge H6601§ Japheth, H3315
And he shall dwell H7931 in the tents H168 of Shem; H8035
And Canaan H3667 shall be H1961 his servant. H5650
[28] And Noah H5146 lived H2421 after H310 the flood H3999 three H7969 hundred H3967 H8141 and fifty H2572 years. H8141 [29] And all H3605 the days H3117 of Noah H5146 were H1961 nine H8672 hundred H3967 H8141 and fifty H2572 years: H8141 and he died. H4191
