Chapter 9
- 9:1
- And God
blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth.
- 9:2
- And the
fear 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.
- 9:3
- Every
moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb
have I given you all things.
- 9:4
- But flesh
with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
- 9:5
- 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.
- 9:6
- Whoso
sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image
of God made he man.
- 9:7
- And you,
be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and
multiply therein.
- 9:8
- And God
spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
- 9:9
- And I,
behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after
you;
- 9:10
- 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.
- 9:11
- 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.
- 9:12
- 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:
- 9:13
- I do set
my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between
me and the earth.
- 9:14
- And it
shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow
shall be seen in the cloud:
- 9:15
- 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.
- 9:16
- 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.
- 9:17
- 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.
- 9:18
- And the
sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
- 9:19
- These are
the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
- 9:20
- And Noah
began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
- 9:21
- And he
drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his
tent.
- 9:22
- And Ham,
the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his
two brethren without.
- 9:23
- 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.
- 9:24
- And Noah
awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
- 9:25
- And he
said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his
brethren.
- 9:26
- And he
said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
servant.
- 9:27
- God shall
enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan
shall be his servant.
- 9:28
- And Noah
lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
- 9:29
- And all
the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
