GENESIS Chapter 9, God's Covenant

1 And blessed God Noah and his sons and said He to them; Be fruitful and be many, and fill the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the terror of you will be on every living creature of the earth, on every flying creature of the skies, on all that moves on the earth, and on all the fish of the seas. Into your hand they are given.
3 Every moving thing that is alive for you will be for eating. Even as plant the green, I have given you all.
4 Only flesh with its life breath, its blood, not you will eat.
5 Surely the blood of your life breath I will seek it, from the hand of every living creature I will seek it, and at the hand of the man; at the hand of man's brother will I seek out the life breath of the man.
6 Whoever spills out the blood of the man, by man his blood will be spilled; For in the image of God He brought forth man.
7 And you, be fruitful and be many; and swarm over the earth and be many on it.

8 And spoke God to Noah and to his sons with him, saying;
9 And I, Behold, I, am raising up My covenant with you and with your seed after you,
10 and with every life breather that is with you; among the flying creatures, among the cattle, and among every living creature of the earth with you, from all going out of the coffer, to every living creature of the earth.
11 I raise up My covenant with you; and not will be cut off all life breathers again by the waters of the flood; not will there be ever again a flood to ruin the earth.
12 And said God; This is the sign of the covenant which I am about to give between Me and between you, and every life breather living that is with you, for generations everlasting.
13 My bow I have set in the cloud and it will be a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
~
14 And it will be when I cause a covering of clouds over the earth then will be seen the bow in the clouds;
15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every life breather living among all flesh; and not will become again the waters for flooding to ruin all flesh.
16 And will be the bow in the clouds and I will see to remember the covenant everlasting between God and every life breather living among all flesh that is on the earth.
17 And said God to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have raised up between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.

18 And were the sons of Noah that went out of the coffer Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham he the father of Cannan (humiliated).
19 Three these are the sons of Noah and from these was scattered the whole earth.
20 And began to be Noah a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.
21 And drank he of the wine and was drunk and was uncovered in the midst of his tent.
22 And saw Ham, the father of Cannan, the nakedness of his father and he denounced him to his two brothers outside.
23 And took Shen and Japheth a garment and put it on shoulders both their and they went backwards and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces backward nakedness their father not they did see.
24 Then awoke Noah from his wine, and knew what had done to him his son younger.
25 and said he; Cursed Cannan; a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.
26 And said he; Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, and will be Cannan a servant to him.
27 God will enlarge Japheth, and he will lodge in the tents of Shem; and will be Cannan a servant to them.
28 And lived Noah after the flood three hundred years and fifty years.
29 And were all the days of Noah nine hundred years and fifty years; and he died.

1 So God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them; Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every wild creature of the earth, on every winged creature of the heavens, on all that moves on the earth, and all the fish of the seas. They are given into your hand.

~
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green plants.
4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
5 Surely for your lifeblood I will avenge, by the power of every wild creature I will avenge it, and by the power of mankind; by the power of every man's brother will I avenge the life of a man.
~
6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood will be shed; For in the likeness of God He brought forth man.
7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread over the earth and multiply on it.

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying;
9 Behold I, even I, am establishing My covenant with you and your offspring after you,
10 and with every living creature that is with you; the winged creatures, the four footed creatures, and every wild creature of the earth with you, all that go out of the ark, every creature of the earth.
11 I establish My covenant with you; never again shall all flesh be blotted out by the waters of a flood; never again shall there be a flood to ravage the earth.
12 And God said; This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for all generations to come.

13 I appoint My rainbow in the cloud and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
14 And it will be that when I gather the clouds over the earth the rainbow will appear in the clouds;
15 and I will bring to remembrance My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 The rainbow will be in the clouds and I will look at it to bring to remembrance the everlasting 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.

23 And Shen and Japheth took a garment and put it on both their shoulders and went backwards and covered the shame of their father. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father uncovered.
24 Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done.
25 Then he said; Cursed be Cannan; He will be a slave of slaves to his brothers.
26 And he said; Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem, and may Cannan be his slave.

16 The rainbow will be in the clouds and I will look at it to recall the everlasting covenant between God and all living things that are on the earth.
