9:1  And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
9:2  And the fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.
9:3  Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; as with the green plant, I give all to you.
9:4  However, flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
9:5  Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every living thing I will require it. And from every man, from each man’s brother I will require the life of man.
9:6  Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man.
9:7  As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Swarm on the earth and multiply in it.”
9:8  Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9  “As for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you;
9:10  and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
9:11  Indeed I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, and there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
9:12  Then God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am giving to be between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;
9:13  I put My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
9:14  And it will be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will 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 never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16  So the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
9:17  And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
9:18  Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.
9:19  These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was scattered abroad.
9:20  Then Noah began to be a man of the land and planted a vineyard.
9:21  And he drank of the wine and became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
9:22  Then Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
9:23  But Shem and Japheth took the garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
9:24  Then Noah awoke from his wine, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
9:25  So he said, “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers.”
9:26  And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
9:27  May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.”
9:28  And Noah lived 350 years after the flood.
9:29  So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
