1

And Godh430 blessedh1288 Noahh5146 and his sonsh1121 and saidh559 to them, " aBe fruitfulh6509 and multiplyh7235a, and fillh4390 the earthh776.

2

"The fearh4172 of you and the terrorh2844a of you will be on everyh3605 beasth2421b of the earthh776 and on everyh3605 birdh5775 of the  1skyh8064; with everythingh3605 that creepsh7430 on the groundh127, and allh3605 the fishh1709 of the seah3220, into your handh3027 they are givenh5414.

3

"Everyh3605 movingh7431 thingh7431 that is aliveh2416a shall be foodh402 for you; I giveh5414 allh3605 to you,  aas I gave the greenh3418 planth6212a.

4

"Onlyh389 you shall not eath398 fleshh1320 with its lifeh5315, that is,  aits bloodh1818.

5

"Surelyh389 I will requireh1875  1 ayour lifebloodh1818h5315;  2 bfrom everyh3605 beasth2421b I will requireh1875 it. And  2from every manh120,  2from everyh376 man'sh376 brotherh251 I will requireh1875 the lifeh5315 of manh120.

6

aWhoever shedsh8210 man'sh120 bloodh1818, By manh120 his bloodh1818 shall be shedh8210, For  bin the imageh6754 of Godh430 He madeh6213a manh120.

7

"As for you,  abe fruitfulh6509 and multiplyh7235a;  1Populateh8317 the earthh776 abundantlyh8317 and multiplyh7235a in it."

8

Then Godh430 spokeh559 to Noahh5146 and to his sonsh1121 with him, sayingh559,

9

"Now beholdh2009,  aI Myselfh589 do establishh6965 My covenanth1285 with you, and with your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you;

10

and with everyh3605 livingh2416a creatureh5315 that is with you, the birdsh5775, the cattleh929, and everyh3605 beasth2421b of the earthh776 with you; of allh3605 that comesh3318 out of the arkh8392, even everyh3605 beasth2421b of the earthh776.

11

"I establishh6965 My covenanth1285 with you; and allh3605 fleshh1320 shall  aneverh3808 againh5750 be cuth3772 offh3772 by the waterh4325 of the floodh3999,  bneitherh3808 shall there againh5750 be a floodh3999 to destroyh7843 the earthh776."

12

Godh430 saidh559, "Thish2088 is  athe signh226 of the covenanth1285 whichh834 I am makingh5414 betweenh996 Me and you and everyh3605 livingh2416a creatureh5315 that is with you, for  1allh5769 successiveh5769 generationsh1755;

13

I seth5414 My  abowh7198 in the cloudh6051, and it shall be for a signh226 of a covenanth1285 betweenh996 Me and the earthh776.

14

"It shall comeh1961 about, when I bringh6049b a cloudh6051 overh5921 the earthh776, that the bowh7198 will be seenh7200 in the cloudh6051,

15

and  aI will rememberh2142 My covenanth1285, whichh834 is betweenh996 Me and you and everyh3605 livingh2416a creatureh5315 of allh3605 fleshh1320; and  bneverh3808 againh5750 shall the waterh4325 becomeh1961 a floodh3999 to destroyh7843 allh3605 fleshh1320.

16

"When the bowh7198 is in the cloudh6051, then I will lookh7200 upon it, to rememberh2142 the  aeverlastingh5769 covenanth1285 betweenh996 Godh430 and everyh3605 livingh2416a creatureh5315 of allh3605 fleshh1320 that is on the earthh776."

17

And Godh430 saidh559 to Noahh5146, "Thish2088 is the signh226 of the covenanth1285 whichh834 I have establishedh6965 betweenh996 Me and allh3605 fleshh1320 that is on the earthh776."

18

Now the sonsh1121 of Noahh5146 who cameh3318 out of the arkh8392 were Shemh8035 and Hamh2526 and Japhethh3315; and  aHamh2526 was the fatherh1 of Canaanh3667a.

19

Theseh428 threeh7969 were the sonsh1121 of Noahh5146, and  afrom theseh428 the wholeh3605 earthh776 was  1populatedh5310b.

20

Then Noahh5146 beganh2490c  1farmingh376h127 and plantedh5193 a vineyardh3754.

21

He drankh8354 of the wineh3196 and  abecameh7937 drunkh7937, and uncoveredh1540 himself insideh8432 his tenth168.

22

Hamh2526, the fatherh1 of Canaanh3667a,  asawh7200 the nakednessh6172 of his fatherh1, and toldh5046 his twoh8147 brothersh251 outsideh2351.

23

But Shemh8035 and Japhethh3315 tookh3947 a garmenth8071 and laidh7760 it upon bothh8147 their shouldersh7926 and walkedh1980 backwardh322 and coveredh3680 the nakednessh6172 of their fatherh1; and their facesh6440 were  1turnedh322 awayh322, so that they did not seeh7200 their father'sh1 nakednessh6172.

24

When Noahh5146 awokeh3364 from his wineh3196, he knewh3045 whath834 his youngesth6996a sonh1121 had doneh6213a to him.

25

So he saidh559, " aCursedh779 be Canaanh3667a;  1 bA servanth5650 of servantsh5650 He shall be to his brothersh251."

26

He also saidh559, " aBlessedh1288 be the LORDh3068, The Godh430 of Shemh8035; And let Canaanh3667a be  1his servanth5650.

27

aMay Godh430 enlargeh6601a Japhethh3315, And let him dwellh7931 in the tentsh168 of Shemh8035; And let Canaanh3667a be  1his servanth5650."

28

Noahh5146 livedh2421a threeh7969 hundredh3967 and fiftyh2572 yearsh8141 afterh310 the floodh3999.

29

So allh3605 the daysh3117 of Noahh5146 were nineh8672 hundredh3967 and fiftyh2572 yearsh8141, and he diedh4191.
