Chapter 9  
     
1.
 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
  
2.
 And the care and the well being of every animal of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon all that moves upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand their fate is delivered.
  
3.
 Every moving thing that lives in abundance may be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
  
4.
 But flesh and blood of human beings, shall you not eat.
  
5.
 And surely to exist you must kill other animals to live, just as all things in the wild must hunt to survive.
  
6.
 Whoso sheds another persons's blood without just cause, shall be guilty of murder: for in the image of God is humanity made.
  
7.
 And you, be you fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
  
8.
 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
  
9.
 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
  
10.
 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every animal of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every living of the earth to which I give you to care and respect.
  
11.
 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.
  
12.
 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:
  
13.
 I do set my coloured rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
  
14.
 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud:
  
15.
 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.
  
16.
 And the rainbow 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.
  
17.
 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.
  
18.
 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
  
19.
 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
  
20.
 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
  
21.
 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
  
22.
 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
  
23.
 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.
  
24.
 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
  
25.
 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
  
26.
 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
  
27.
 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
  
28.
 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
  
29.
 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
