Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “^aBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every animal of the earth and on every bird of the sky; on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. They are handed over to you. 3 Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I have given everything to you, ^aas I gave the green plant. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, ^aits blood. 5 I certainly will require ^1ayour lifeblood; ^2bfrom every animal I will require it. And ³from every person, ⁴from every man as his brother I will require the life of a person.

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 “Now behold, ^aI Myself am establishing My covenant with you, and with your ¹descendants after you; 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, every animal of the earth. 11 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall ^anever again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, ^bnor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is ^athe sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for ¹all future generations; 13 I have set My ^arainbow in the cloud, and it shall ¹serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and ^aI will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and ^bnever again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at it, to remember the ^aeverlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And 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 Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and ^aHam was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and ^afrom these the whole earth was ¹populated.

20 Then Noah began ¹farming and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank some of the wine and ^abecame drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, ^asaw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were ¹turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 So he said,“^aCursed be Canaan;^1bA servant of servantsHe shall be to his brothers.” 26 He also said,“^aBlessed be the LORD,The God of Shem;And may Canaan be ¹his servant.

28 Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29 So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.

And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “^aBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the ¹sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given. 3 Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, ^aas I gave the green plant. 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, ^aits blood. 5 Surely I will require ^1ayour lifeblood; ^2bfrom every beast I will require it. And ³from every man, ⁴from every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 “Now behold, ^aI Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your ¹descendants after you; 10 and 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 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall ^anever again be cut off by the water of the flood, ^bneither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said, “This is ^athe sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for ¹all successive generations; 13 I set My ^abow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and ^aI will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and ^bnever again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the ^aeverlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And 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 Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and ^aHam was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and ^afrom these the whole earth was ¹populated.

20 Then Noah began ¹farming and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and ^abecame drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, ^asaw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 But 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 ¹turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 So he said,“^aCursed be Canaan;^1bA servant of servantsHe shall be to his brothers.” 26 He also said,“^aBlessed be the LORD,The God of Shem;And let Canaan be ¹his servant.

28 Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. 29 So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
