God’s Promise to Noah

1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.   fill

2And the fear of youp and the dread of youp shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moves upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into yourp hand are they delivered.

3Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for youp; even as the green herb have I given youp all things.   food

4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall youp not eat.

5And surely yourp blood of yourp 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.

6Whoso sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man.   MATT 26:52

7And youp, be youp fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

8And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9And I, behold, I establish My covenant with youp, and with yourp seed after youp;   agreement; descendants

10And with every living creature that is with youp, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with youp; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11And I will establish My covenant with youp; 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.

12And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and youp and every living creature that is with youp, for perpetual generations:   sign

13I do set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.   rainbow

14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15And I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and youp and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16And 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.

17And 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.

Noah and His Sons

18And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.   populated

20And Noah began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:   farmer

21And he drank of the wine, and was drunk; and he was uncovered inside his tent.

22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.

23And 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.   walked; turned away

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren.

26And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall 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.
