Genesis 9

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, 'Breed, multiply and fil the earth.	1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Be the terror and the dread of al the animals on land and al the birds of heaven, of everything thatmoves on land and all the fish of the sea; they are placed in your hands.	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.
3 Every living thing that moves wil be yours to eat, no less than the foliage of the plants. I give youeverything,	3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 with this exception: you must not eat flesh with life, that is to say blood, in it.	4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And I shal demand account of your life-blood, too. I shall demand it of every animal, and of man. Ofman as regards his fel ow-man, I shal demand account for human life.	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 He who sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God was mancreated.	6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 Be fruitful then and multiply, teem over the earth and subdue it!'	7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 God spoke as fol ows to Noah and his sons,	8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 'I am now establishing my covenant with you and with your descendants to come,	9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that was with you: birds, cattle and every wild animal with you;everything that came out of the ark, every living thing on earth.	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 shal maintain my covenant with you: that never again shal all living things be destroyed by thewaters of a flood, nor shal there ever again be a flood to devastate 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 this', God said, 'is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and everyliving creature with you for al ages to come:	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 now set my bow in the clouds and it wil be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.	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 When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds,	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 I shal recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word al living things,and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy al living things.	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 When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God andevery living creature on earth, that is, al living things.'	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 'That', God told Noah, 'is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and al livingthings on 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 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth-Ham being the father ofCanaan.	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 three were Noah's sons, and from these the whole earth was peopled.	19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 Noah, a til er of the soil, was the first to plant the vine.	20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 He drank some of the wine, and while he was drunk, he lay uncovered in his tent.	21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 Ham, father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.	22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 Shem and Japheth took a cloak and they both put it over their shoulders, and walking backwards,covered their father's nakedness; they kept their faces turned away, and they did not look at their father naked.	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 When Noah awoke from his stupor he learned what his youngest son had done to him,	24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 and said: Accursed be Canaan, he shal be his brothers' meanest slave.	25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 He added: Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, let Canaan be his slave!	26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 May God make space for Japheth, may he live in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his slave!	27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 After the flood Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.	28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 In al , Noah's life lasted nine hundred and fifty years; then he died.	29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
