The Covenant of the Rainbow
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
God Confirms His Covenant
Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.
And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.
Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.
And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his brother, will I require the life of Man.
“And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.
Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
Now be fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth.”
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,
and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark -- every animal of the earth.
and with all the animals that were on the boat with you — the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals — every living creature on earth.
And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.
Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.”
And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:
Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come.
I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.
And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds,
and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.
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 soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”
And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
Noah’s Sons
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with their father were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham is the father of Canaan.)
These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
From these three sons of Noah came all the people who now populate the earth.
Noah's Shame and Canaan's Curse
And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.
One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers.
And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.
Then Shem and Japheth took a robe, held it over their shoulders, and backed into the tent to cover their father. As they did this, they looked the other way so they would not see him naked.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.
When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
Then he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham:
“May Canaan be cursed!
May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.”
“May Canaan be cursed!
May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.”
Shem's Blessing and Noah's Death
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
Then Noah said,
“May the LORD, the God of Shem, be blessed,
and may Canaan be his servant!
“May the LORD, the God of Shem, be blessed,
and may Canaan be his servant!
Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood.
