1 God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.'

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 The fear and dread of you will be upon every animal of the earth, every bird of the sky, every creature that moves on the ground, and all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every living creature that moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the plants, I now give you everything.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But you must not eat meat that still has its lifeblood in it.

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 I will require an accounting for your lifeblood. I will demand it from any animal and from every person. From each person, I will demand an accounting for the life of another person.

And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds human blood, by humans will their blood be shed; for in the image of God, God made mankind.

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out over the earth and multiply upon it.

And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 'Behold, I am establishing My covenant with you and with your descendants after you,

And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the livestock, and all the creatures of the earth—that came out of the ark with you, every living thing on the earth.

And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all flesh be destroyed by the waters of a flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 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 future generations:

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I have set My bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.'

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow becomes visible in the clouds,

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 When the rainbow 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.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 Then God said to Noah, 'This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.'

And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)

And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

20 Noah, a man of the soil, began to work the land and planted a vineyard.

And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21 He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.

And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it across their shoulders, and walked backward to cover their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so they would not see their father’s nakedness.

And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 he said, 'Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.'

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 He also said, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.'

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth's territory, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem; and may Canaan be his servant.

God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28 After the flood, Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.

And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29 Noah lived a total of nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
