1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2"The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3"Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4"Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5"Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man's brother I will require the life of man.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6"Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7"As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it."
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9"Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11"I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14"It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16"When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25So he said, "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers."
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26He also said, "Blessed be the LORD, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27"May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant."
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
