1 Then God blessed Noah and hissons, saying to them, "Be fruitful andincrease in number and fill the earth.2 The fear and dread of you will fall uponall the beasts of the earth and all thebirds of the air, upon every creature thatmoves along the ground, and upon allthe fish of the sea; they are given intoyour hands.3 Everything that lives and moves will befood for you. Just as I gave you thegreen plants, I now give you everything.4 "But you must not eat meat that has itslifeblood still in it.5 And for your lifeblood I will surelydemand an accounting. I will demand anaccounting from every animal. And fromeach man, too, I will demand anaccounting for the life of his fellow man.6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, byman shall his blood be shed; for in theimage of God has God made man.7 As for you, be fruitful and increase innumber; multiply on the earth andincrease upon it."8 Then God said to Noah and to his sonswith him:9 "I now establish my covenant with youand with your descendants after you10 and with every living creature that waswith you-the birds, the livestock and allthe wild animals, all those that came outof the ark with you-every living creatureon earth.11 I establish my covenant with you:Never again will all life be cut off by thewaters of a flood; never again will therebe a flood to destroy the earth."12 And God said, "This is the sign of thecovenant I am making between me andyou and every living creature with you, acovenant for all generations to come:13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds,and it will be the sign of the covenantbetween me and the earth.14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earthand the rainbow appears in the clouds,15 I will remember my covenant betweenme and you and all living creatures ofevery kind. Never again will the watersbecome a flood to destroy all life.16 Whenever the rainbow appears in theclouds, I will see it and remember theeverlasting covenant between God andall living creatures of every kind on theearth."17 So God said to Noah, "This is the signof the covenant I have establishedbetween me and all life on the earth."18 The sons of Noah who came out of theark were Shem, Ham and Japheth.(Ham was the father of Canaan.)19 These were the three sons of Noah,and from them came the people whowere scattered over the earth.20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded toplant a vineyard.21 When he drank some of its wine, hebecame drunk and lay uncovered insidehis tent.22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw hisfather's nakedness and told his twobrothers outside.23 But Shem and Japheth took a garmentand laid it across their shoulders; thenthey walked in backward and coveredtheir father's nakedness. Their faceswere turned the other way so that theywould not see their father's nakedness.24 When Noah awoke from his wine andfound out what his youngest son haddone to him,25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan! Thelowest of slaves will he be to hisbrothers." 26 He also said, "Blessed be the Lord ,the God of Shem! May Canaan be theslave of Shem.27 May God extend the territory ofJapheth ; may Japheth live in the tentsof Shem, and may Canaan be hisslave."28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years.29 Altogether, Noah lived 950 years, andthen he died.
