Bring forth abundantly in the earth,
and multiply in it."
009:008 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
009:009 "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you,
and with your offspring after you,
009:010 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds,
the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you,
of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
009:011 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut
off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there
ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
009:012 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:
009:013 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign
of a covenant between me and the earth.
009:014 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth,
that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
009:015 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you
and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will
no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
009:016 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I
may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every
living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
009:017 God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I
have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
009:018 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham,
and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
009:019 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole
earth was populated.
009:020 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
009:021 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered
within his tent.
009:022 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father,
and told his two brothers outside.
009:023 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders,
went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father.
Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see
their father's nakedness.
009:024 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had
done to him.
009:025 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants
to his brothers."
009:026 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan
be his servant.
009:027 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem.
Let Canaan be his servant."
009:028 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
009:029 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
010:001 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah
and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them
after the flood.
