9:1 God blessed
Noah and his sons and said, "Have many children, so that your
descendants will live all over the earth. |
|
9:2 All the
animals, birds, and fish will live in fear of you. They are all placed under
your power. |
|
9:3 Now you can
eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food. |
|
9:4 The one thing
you must not eat is meat with blood still in it; I forbid this because the
life is in the blood. |
|
9:5 If anyone
takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal
that takes a human life. |
|
9:6 Human beings
were made like God, so whoever murders one of them will be killed by someone
else. |
|
9:7 "You must
have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the
earth." |
|
9:8 God said to
Noah and his sons, |
|
9:9 "I am now
making my covenant with you and with your descendants, |
|
9:10 and with all
living beings---all birds and all animals---everything that came out of the
boat with you. |
|
9:11 With these
words I make my covenant with you: I promise that never again will all living
beings be destroyed by a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth. |
|
9:12 As a sign of
this everlasting covenant which I am making with you and with all living
beings, |
|
9:13 I am putting
my bow in the clouds. It will be the sign of my covenant with the world. |
|
9:14 Whenever I
cover the sky with clouds and the rainbow appears, |
|
9:15 I will
remember my promise to you and to all the animals that a flood will never
again destroy all living beings. |
|
9:16 When the
rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting
covenant between me and all living beings on earth. |
|
9:17 That is the
sign of the promise which I am making to all living beings." |
|
9:18 The sons of
Noah who went out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the
father of Canaan.) |
|
9:19 These three
sons of Noah were the ancestors of all the people on earth. |
|
9:20 Noah, who was
a farmer, was the first man to plant a vineyard. |
|
9:21 After he drank
some of the wine, he became drunk, took off his clothes, and lay naked in his
tent. |
|
9:22 When Ham, the
father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked, he
went out and told his two brothers. |
|
9:23 Then Shem and
Japheth took a robe and held it behind them on their shoulders. They walked
backward into the tent and covered their father, keeping their faces turned
away so as not to see him naked. |
|
9:24 When Noah
sobered up and learned what his youngest son had done to him, |
|
9:25 he said,
"A curse on Canaan! He will be a slave to his brothers. |
|
9:26 Give praise to
the LORD, the God of Shem! Canaan will be the slave of Shem. |
|
9:27 May God cause
Japheth to increase! May his descendants live with the people of Shem! Canaan
will be the slave of Japheth." |
|
9:28 After the
flood Noah lived 350 years |
|
9:29 and died at
the age of 950. |
