Genesis

CHAPTER 9


1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the terror of you shall be upon every animal of the earth and upon every bird of heaven, on everything that creeps on the ground and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; just as I gave you the green herb, so I have given you everything.

4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.

5 And indeed your lifeblood I will require; from every animal I will require it. And from every man, from every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds man's blood, By man shall his blood be shed, For in the image of God He made man.

7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, Abound on the earth and multiply in it.

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I Myself now establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you

10 And with every living animal that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that came out of the ark, every animal of the earth.

11 And I establish My covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living animal that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I set My bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

14 And when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds,

15 I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living animal of all flesh, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow will be in the clouds, and I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living animal of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 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.

18 Now the sons of Noah who came forth from the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was spread over.

20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.

21 And he drank of the wine and became drunk. And he uncovered himself inside his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders, and they walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan: A servant of servants Shall he be to his brothers.

26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his servant.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and he died.

CHAPTER 10

1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Rodanim.

5 From these the islands and coastal regions of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his tongue, according to their families, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 And Cush begot Nimrod: He began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-ir and Calah

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, that is, the great city.

13 And Mizraim begot the Ludim and the Anamim and the Lehabim and the Naphtuhim

14 And the Pathrusim and the Casluhim, from which came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn and Heth

16 And the Jebusites and the Amorites and the Girgashites

17 And the Hivites and the Arkites and the Sinites

18 And the Arvadites and the Zemarites and the Hamathites, and afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread out.

19 And the territory of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza, and as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

21 And also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the eldest brother of Japheth, children were born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.

24 And Arpachshad begot Shelah, and Shelah begot Eber.

25 And to Eber were born two sons: The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

26 And Joktan begot Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

27 And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

28 And Obal and Abimael and Sheba

29 And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
