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.
“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.
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 is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.
“Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.
“Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man’s brother I will 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.
“Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed,
For in the image of God
He made man.
By man his blood shall be shed,
For in the image of God
He made man.
“As for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
Now be fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth.”
“Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;
“I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,
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.
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.
“I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again 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.”
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 successive 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 cloud, and it shall be for a sign 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.
“It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will 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 never again shall the water 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.
“When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on 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 on 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.”
Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was 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 were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
From these three sons of Noah came all the people who now populate the earth.
Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.
After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.
One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers.
But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon 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.
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.
When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done.
So he said,
“Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brothers.”
“Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brothers.”
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.”
He also said,
“Blessed be the LORD,
The God of Shem;
And let Canaan be his servant.
“Blessed be the LORD,
The God of Shem;
And let Canaan 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!
“May God enlarge Japheth,
And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;
And let Canaan be his servant.”
And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;
And let Canaan be his servant.”
Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood.
