Genesis 9:13-29 ▼

13 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;

14 and it has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been seen in the cloud,

15 and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters no longer become a flood to destroy all flesh;

16 and the bow has been in the cloud, and I have seen it—to remember the perpetual covenant between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.”

17 And God says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on the earth.”

18 And the sons of Noah who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.

19 These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.

20 And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,

21 and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.

22 And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.

23 And Shem takes—Japheth also—the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father’s nakedness they have not seen.

24 And Noah awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,

25 and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, || Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”

26 And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, || And Canaan is servant to him.

27 God gives beauty to Japheth, || And he dwells in tents of Shem, || And Canaan is servant to him.”

28 And Noah lives after the flood three hundred and fifty years;

29 and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
