###### 1
And 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 terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; 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; as _with_ the green plant, I give all to you. 

###### 4
However, flesh with its life, _that is_, its blood, you shall not eat. 

###### 5
Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every living thing I will require it. And from _every_ man, from each man's brother I will require the life of man. 

###### 6
Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man. 

###### 7
As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Swarm on the earth and multiply in it." 

###### 8
Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 

###### 9
"As for Me, 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 cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 

###### 11
Indeed I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, and there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth." 

###### 12
Then God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am giving _to be_ between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; 

###### 13
I put My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 

###### 14
And it will be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will 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 never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 

###### 16
So the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it, to remember 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." 

## Noah's Three Sons 

###### 18
Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan. 

###### 19
These three _were_ the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was scattered abroad. 

###### 20
Then Noah began _to be_ a man of the land and planted a vineyard. 

###### 21
And he drank of the wine and became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent. 

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

###### 23
But Shem and Japheth took the garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father's nakedness. 

###### 24
Then Noah awoke from his wine, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 

###### 25
So he said, "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers." 

###### 26
And he said, "Blessed be Yahweh, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. 

###### 27
May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant." 

###### 28
And Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 

###### 29
So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
