The Covenant of the Rainbow
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 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 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.
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 meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.
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.
“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 made he man.
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
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 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.
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 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.
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 token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual 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 do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a 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 a cloud 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 creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more 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 creature 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 unto Noah, This is the token 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.”
Noah's Sons
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth 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 are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
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 an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he 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 was uncovered within 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 without.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers.
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.
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 knew what his younger son had done unto him.
When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto 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 the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
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!
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood.
