5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; 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 shed: for in the image of God made he man. |
7 And you, be ye fruitful, 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 token 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 everlasting 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 Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. |
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. |
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: |
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; 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 father'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 Canaan; 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 servant. |
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. |
