God’s
Covenant With Noah
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 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 moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;
even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood
thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 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 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be
shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth
abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him,
saying,
9 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, 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 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 token of the covenant which
I make between me and you and every living creature that is
with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a
token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over
the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 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 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 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.
The Sons of Noah
18 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 are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the
whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a
vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was
uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of
his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 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 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his
younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants
shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and
Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the
tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty
years: and he died.
