Chapter 9 | |
1 | And God
blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be 1fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth.
|
2 |
And the 1fear 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 1blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
|
5 | And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at
the hand of every 1beast will I require it, and at the hand of 2man; 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 1shed: for in the image of God made he man.
|
7 | And you, be ye 1fruitful, 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 1token 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 1everlasting 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. |
18 |
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were 1Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
|
19 | These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the
1whole earth overspread.
|
20 |
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: |
21 | And he drank of the wine, and was
1drunken; 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 1father'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 aCanaan; 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 1servant.
|
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. |
