9:1  Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
9:2  The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every animal of the earth and on every bird of the sky; on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. They are handed over to you.
9:3  Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I have given everything to you, as I gave the green plant.
9:4  But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
9:5  I certainly will require your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it. And from every person, from every man as his brother I will require the life of a person.
9:6  Whoever sheds human blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made mankind.
9:7  As for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
9:8  Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9  “Now behold, I Myself am establishing My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;
9:10  and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, every animal of the earth.
9:11  I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
9:12  God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations;
9:13  I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
9:14  It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow 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  When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at 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 came out of the ark were Shem, 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 populated.
9:20  Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.
9:21  He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.
9:22  Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
9:23  But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
9:24  When Noah awoke from his wine, 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  He also said, “Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.
9:27  May God enlarge Japheth, And may he live in the tents of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.”
9:28  Noah lived 350 years after the flood.
9:29  So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
