1. Then God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Have many children; grow in number and fill the earth.
|
1. And God H430 blessed H1288 H853 Noah H5146 and his sons H1121 , and said H559 unto them , Be fruitful H6509 , and multiply H7235 , and replenish H4390 H853 the earth H776 .
|
|
2. Every animal on earth, every bird in the sky, every animal that crawls on the ground, and every fish in the sea will respect and fear you. I have given them to you.
|
2. And the fear H4172 of you and the dread H2844 of you shall be H1961 upon H5921 every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth H776 , and upon H5921 every H3605 fowl H5775 of the air H8064 , upon all H3605 that H834 moveth H7430 upon the earth H127 , and upon all H3605 the fishes H1709 of the sea H3220 ; into your hand H3027 are they delivered H5414 .
|
|
3. "Everything that moves, everything that is alive, is yours for food. Earlier I gave you the green plants, but now I give you everything for food.
|
3. Every H3605 moving thing H7431 that H834 liveth H2416 shall be H1961 meat H402 for you ; even as the green H3418 herb H6212 have I given H5414 you H853 all things H3605 .
|
|
4. But you must not eat meat that still has blood in it, because blood gives life.
|
4. But H389 flesh H1320 with the life H5315 thereof, which is the blood H1818 thereof , shall ye not H3808 eat H398 .
|
|
5. I will demand blood for life. I will demand the life of any animal that kills a person, and I will demand the life of anyone who takes another person's life.
|
5. And surely H389 H853 your blood H1818 of your lives H5315 will I require H1875 ; at the hand H4480 H3027 of every H3605 beast H2416 will I require H1875 it , and at the hand H4480 H3027 of man H120 ; at the hand H4480 H3027 of every man H376 's brother H251 will I require H1875 H853 the life H5315 of man H120 .
|
|
6. "Whoever kills a human being will be killed by a human being, because God made humans in his own image.
|
6. Whoso sheddeth H8210 man H120 's blood H1818 , by man H120 shall his blood H1818 be shed H8210 : for H3588 in the image H6754 of God H430 made H6213 he H853 man H120 .
|
|
7. "As for you, Noah, I want you and your family to have many children, to grow in number on the earth, and to become many."
|
7. And you H859 , be ye fruitful H6509 , and multiply H7235 ; bring forth abundantly H8317 in the earth H776 , and multiply H7235 therein.
|
|
8. Then God said to Noah and his sons,
|
8. And God H430 spoke H559 unto H413 Noah H5146 , and to H413 his sons H1121 with H854 him, saying H559 ,
|
|
9. "Now I am making my agreement with you and your people who will live after you,
|
9. And I H589 , behold H2009 , I establish H6965 H853 my covenant H1285 with H854 you , and with H854 your seed H2233 after H310 you;
|
|
10. and with every living thing that is with you -- the birds, the tame and the wild animals, and with everything that came out of the boat with you -- with every living thing on earth.
|
10. And with H854 every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 that H834 is with H854 you , of the fowl H5775 , of the cattle H929 , and of every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth H776 with H854 you ; from all H4480 H3605 that go out H3318 of the ark H8392 , to every H3605 beast H2416 of the earth H776 .
|
|
11. I make this agreement with you: I will never again destroy all living things by a flood. A flood will never again destroy the earth."
|
11. And I will establish H6965 H853 my covenant H1285 with H854 you; neither H3808 shall all H3605 flesh H1320 be cut off H3772 any more H5750 by the waters H4480 H4325 of a flood H3999 ; neither H3808 shall there any more H5750 be H1961 a flood H3999 to destroy H7843 the earth H776 .
|
|
12. And God said, "This is the sign of the agreement between me and you and every living creature that is with you.
|
12. And God H430 said H559 , This H2063 is the token H226 of the covenant H1285 which H834 I H589 make H5414 between H996 me and you and every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 that H834 is with H854 you , for perpetual H5769 generations H1755 :
|
|
13. I am putting my rainbow in the clouds as the sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
|
13. I do set H5414 H853 my bow H7198 in the cloud H6051 , and it shall be H1961 for a token H226 of a covenant H1285 between H996 me and the earth H776 .
|
|
14. When I bring clouds over the earth and a rainbow appears in them,
|
14. And it shall come to pass H1961 , when I bring H6049 a cloud H6051 over H5921 the earth H776 , that the bow H7198 shall be seen H7200 in the cloud H6051 :
|
|
15. I will remember my agreement between me and you and every living thing. Floods will never again destroy all life on the earth.
|
15. And I will remember H2142 H853 my covenant H1285 , which H834 is between H996 me and you and every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 of all H3605 flesh H1320 ; and the waters H4325 shall no H3808 more H5750 become H1961 a flood H3999 to destroy H7843 all H3605 flesh H1320 .
|
|
16. When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and I will remember the agreement that continues forever between me and every living thing on the earth."
|
16. And the bow H7198 shall be H1961 in the cloud H6051 ; and I will look upon H7200 it , that I may remember H2142 the everlasting H5769 covenant H1285 between H996 God H430 and every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 of all H3605 flesh H1320 that H834 is upon H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
17. So God said to Noah, "The rainbow is a sign of the agreement that I made with all living things on earth.
|
17. And God H430 said H559 unto H413 Noah H5146 , This H2063 is the token H226 of the covenant H1285 , which H834 I have established H6965 between H996 me and all H3605 flesh H1320 that H834 is upon H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
18. The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with him were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
|
18. And the sons H1121 of Noah H5146 , that went forth H3318 of H4480 the ark H8392 , were H1961 Shem H8035 , and Ham H2526 , and Japheth H3315 : and Ham H2526 is the father H1 of Canaan H3667 .
|
|
19. These three men were Noah's sons, and all the people on earth came from these three sons.
|
19. These H428 are the three H7969 sons H1121 of Noah H5146 : and of them H4480 H428 was the whole H3605 earth H776 overspread H5310 .
|
|
20. Noah became a farmer and planted a vineyard.
|
20. And Noah H5146 began H2490 to be an husbandman H376 H127 , and he planted H5193 a vineyard H3754 :
|
|
21. When he drank wine made from his grapes, he became drunk and lay naked in his tent.
|
21. And he drank H8354 of H4480 the wine H3196 , and was drunken H7937 ; and he was uncovered H1540 within H8432 his tent H168 .
|
|
22. Ham, the father of Canaan, looked at his naked father and told his brothers outside.
|
22. And Ham H2526 , the father H1 of Canaan H3667 , saw H7200 H853 the nakedness H6172 of his father H1 , and told H5046 his two H8147 brethren H251 without H2351 .
|
|
23. Then Shem and Japheth got a coat and, carrying it on both their shoulders, they walked backwards into the tent and covered their father. They turned their faces away so that they did not see their father's nakedness.
|
23. And Shem H8035 and Japheth H3315 took H3947 H853 a garment H8071 , and laid H7760 it upon H5921 both H8147 their shoulders H7926 , and went H1980 backward H322 , and covered H3680 H853 the nakedness H6172 of their father H1 ; and their faces H6440 were backward H322 , and they saw H7200 not H3808 their father H1 's nakedness H6172 .
|
|
24. Noah was sleeping because of the wine. When he woke up and learned what his youngest son, Ham, had done to him,
|
24. And Noah H5146 awoke H3364 from his wine H4480 H3196 , and knew H3045 H853 what H834 his younger H6996 son H1121 had done H6213 unto him.
|
|
25. he said, "May there be a curse on Canaan! May he be the lowest slave to his brothers."
|
25. And he said H559 , Cursed H779 be Canaan H3667 ; a servant H5650 of servants H5650 shall he be H1961 unto his brethren H251 .
|
|
26. Noah also said, "May the Lord, the God of Shem, be praised! May Canaan be Shem's slave.
|
26. And he said H559 , Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 God H430 of Shem H8035 ; and Canaan H3667 shall be H1961 his servant H5650 .
|
|
27. May God give more land to Japheth. May Japheth live in Shem's tents, and may Canaan be their slave."
|
27. God H430 shall enlarge H6601 Japheth H3315 , and he shall dwell H7931 in the tents H168 of Shem H8035 ; and Canaan H3667 shall be H1961 his servant H5650 .
|
|
28. After the flood Noah lived 350 years.
|
28. And Noah H5146 lived H2421 after H310 the flood H3999 three H7969 hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 years H8141 .
|
|
29. He lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
|
29. And all H3605 the days H3117 of Noah H5146 were H1961 nine H8672 hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 years H8141 : and he died H4191 .
