1 And god blessed Noah, and his sonnes, & saide vnto them, be fruitfull and multiplie, and replenishe the earth. And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
2 The feare of you, & the dread of you, shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the ayre, vpon al that moueth vpon the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea, into your hande are they deliuered. The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.
3 Euery thyng that moueth it selfe, and that liueth, shall be meate for you, euen as the greene hearbe haue I geue you all thinges. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 But flesh in the life therof which is the blood therof, shall ye not eate. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
5 And surely your blood of your lyues wyl I require: at the hande of euery beast wyll I require it, and at the hand of man, at the hande of mans brother wyll I require the life of man. And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
6 Who so sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.
7 But be fruitefull, and multiplie you, breede in the earth, and increase therein. And you, be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.” As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
8 God spake also vnto Noah, & to his sonnes with hym, saying: Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
9 Beholde, I, euen I establishe my couenaunt with you, and with your seede after you: “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you
10 And with euery liuing creature that is with you, in foule, in cattell, in euery beast of the earth whiche is with you, of all that go out of the arke, whatsoeuer liuing thyng of the earth it be. and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth.
11 And my couenaunt I make with you, that from hencefoorth euery fleshe be not rooted out with the waters of a fludde, neither shall there be a fludde to destroy the earth any more. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 And God sayde: this is the token of the couenaut which I make betweene me and you, and euery lyuyng creature that is with you, for euer. And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 I do set my bowe in the cloude, and it shall be for a token betweene me and the earth. I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to passe, that when I bryng a cloude vpon the earth, the bowe also shalbe seene in ye same cloude. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15 And I wyll thinke vpon my couenaunt whiche is betweene me and you, and euery liuing creature in all fleshe: and it shall no more come to passe, that waters make a fludde to destroy all fleshe. I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
16 And the bowe shalbe in the cloude, and I wyll loke vpon it, that I may thinke vpon the euerlasting couenaunt, betweene god and euery liuing creature in all fleshe that is vpon the earth. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
17 And God sayd vnto Noah, This is the token of the couenaunt which I haue made betweene me and all fleshe that is vpon earth.

23 And Sem and Iapheth takyng a garment, layde it vpon their shoulders, and commyng backwarde, couered the nakednesse of their father, namely their faces beyng turned away, lest they should see their fathers nakednesse. Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness. But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

26 He sayde moreouer: blessed be the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shalbe his seruaunt. He also said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant. He also said, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.
27 God shall enlarge Iapheth: and he shall dwell in the tentes of Sem, and Chanaan shalbe his seruaunt. May God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.” May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
