* And God blessed Noah and his sons . And He said to them , Be fruitful and multiply , and fill the earth . * And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon the animals of the earth , and upon every bird of the air , upon all that moves on the earth , and upon all the fish of the sea . Into your hand they are delivered . * Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you . I have given you all things , even as the green herb . * But you shall not eat of flesh with the life in it , [or ] the blood of it . * and surely 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 every man 's brother will I require the life of man . * Whoever sheds man 's blood , his blood shall be shed by man ; for He made man in the image of God . * And you be fruitful and multiply . Bring forth abundantly in the earth , and increase in it . * And God spoke to Noah , and to his sons with him , saying , * Behold ! I , even I , establish My covenant with you , and with your seed after you ; * and with every living creature that [is ] with you , of the birds , of the cattle , and of every animal of the earth with you ; from all that go out from the ark , to every animal of the earth . * 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 . * And God said , This [is ] the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature with you , for everlasting generations : * I set my rainbow in the cloud . And it shall be a token of a covenant between Me and the earth . * And it shall be , when I bring a cloud over the earth , that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud . * 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 . * And the rainbow 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 . * And God said to Noah , This [is ] the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is ] upon the earth . * And the sons of Noah that went out of the ark were Shem , Ham , and Japheth . And Ham is the father of Canaan . * These [are ] the three sons of Noah , and the whole earth was overspread from them . * And Noah began [to be ] a husbandman . And he planted a vineyard . * And he drank of the wine and was drunk . And he was uncovered inside his tent . * And Ham , the father of Canaan , saw the nakedness of his father , and told his two brothers outside . * And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders . And they went backwards and covered the nakedness of their father . And their faces were backwards , and they did not see their father 's nakedness . * And Noah awoke from his wine , and came to know what his younger son had done to him . * And he said , Cursed [be ] Canaan . He shall be a servant of servants to his brothers . * And he said , Blessed be the LORD God of Shem , and Canaan shall be his servant . * God shall enlarge Japheth , and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem . And Canaan shall be their servant . * And Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood . * And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years . And he died .
