1And ⁵⁷God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

2And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.

3Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.

4Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.

5And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his brother, will I require the life of Man.

6Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of ⁵⁸God he hath made Man.

7And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.

8And ⁵⁹God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark — every animal of the earth.

11And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.

12And ⁶⁰God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:

13I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,

15and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between ⁶¹God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17And ⁶²God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

19These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.

20And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.

21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.

22And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.

23And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.

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

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.

26And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the ⁶³God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.

27Let ⁶⁴God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.

28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
