9:1 God’s agreement with Noah

9Then God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.[ref] 2Now every living creature on the earth will be afraid and terrified of you, including every bird that flies in the sky, along with every creature that moves on land, and all the fish in the ocean. I have put them all under your authority. 3From now on every creature that is alive and moves can be eaten as food—just like I previously provided you green plants for food, now I provide you everything for food4the only exception is meat with it’s life blood still in it.[ref] 5Also, I will certainly require blood as payment for people’s lives: if anyone murders another person, I require that the murderer must die, and even if an animal kills a human being, I require that it must die. 6Yes, if anyone sheds human blood, the others must shed the murderer’s blood, because God made human beings in his image.[ref] 7So then, be fruitful and multiply—have children on the earth and become numerous.[ref]

8Then God said to Noah and his sons, 9“Now listen, I am making an agreement with you and your future descendants, 10and it’s also with every living creature that is with you: with the birds, the livestock, and every living thing on the earth with you, from all that came out of the wooden chest to every future living thing on the earth. 11My agreement that I’m establishing with you is that all living things will never die from a flood again. That’s right, I will never use a flood again to destroy everything on the earth.” 12Then God added, “This is how I’ll show everyone that I’ve made this agreement with you and with all the living creatures that are with you, along with all future generations: 13I’ll place my rainbow among the clouds, and it’ll be a sign of the agreement between me and all life on the earth. 14So whenever I cause clouds to form in the sky and a rainbow is visible in the clouds, 15then I’ll remember my agreement that’s between me and you and every kind of living creature, and a flood will never again destroy everything living. 16So whenever a rainbow appears among the clouds, I’ll see it and remember my permanent agreement with every living creature that lives and will live on the earth.” 17Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow is the sign of the agreement that I have established between me and every living thing on the earth.”

9:18 Noah’s children

18Noah’s sons who came out of the wooden chest after the flood were Yafet (Japheth), Shem, and Ham. (Ham became Canaan’s father). 19They were Noah’s three sons and from them the whole earth became populated.

20After a while, Noah, who was a farmer, planted some grape vines, 21and in due course he drank some of his wine and got drunk, and he fell asleep naked in his tent. 22Then Ham (Canaan’s father) saw his father’s nakedness then went outside and told his brothers what he’d seen. 23So Shem and Yafet took a robe, and holding it between their shoulders they walked backwards into the tent and covered their father’s nakedness. (Their faces were towards the tent entrance, so they didn’t see his nakedness.) 24Eventually, Noah woke up from his drunken sleep and found out what his youngest son (Ham) had done to him 25and said, “May Canaan be cursed and become a slave of slaves to his brothers!” 26Then he added, “Praise Yahweh who’s Shem’s God. May Canaan become Shem’s slave. 27May God expand Yafet’s territory and may he live in Shem’s tents. May Canaan also become a slave of Yafet.”

28After the flood, Noah lived another 350 years, 29and so he was 950 years old when he died.


18and_they_were the_sons of_Noḩa the_came_out from the_box Shem and_Ham and_Yafet and_Ham he [was]_the_father of_Kinaˊan.
19Three these [were]_the_sons of_Noḩa and_from_these it_dispersed all the_earth/land.
20And_began Noḩa the_man the_soil and_he/it_planted a_vineyard.
21And_drank some_of the_wine and_became_drunk and_lay_uncovered in_the_middle tent_his.
[fn] 22and_he/it_saw Ham the_father of_Kinaˊan DOM the_nakedness his/its_father and_told to_two brothers_his in/on/at/with_outside.
23And_he/it_took Shem and_Japheth DOM the_garment and_laid on the_shoulder both_of_them and_walked backwards and_covered DOM the_nakedness father_their and_faces_their [were]_backwards and_nakedness father’s_their not they_saw.
24And_awoke Noḩa from_wine_his and_he/it_knew DOM [that]_which he_had_done to_him/it his/its_son the_youngest.
25And_he/it_said [be]_cursed Kinaˊan a_slave of_slaves he_will_be to_brothers_his.
26And_he/it_said [be]_blessed Yahweh the_god of_Shem and_let_it_be Kinaˊan a_slave to_them.
27May_he_make_spacious god for_Japheth and_dwell in/on/at/with_tents of_Shem and_let_it_be Kinaˊan a_slave for_him.
28And_he/it_lived Noḩa after the_flood three hundred(s) year[s] and_fifty year[s].
29And_they_were all the_days of_Noḩa nine hundred(s) year[s] and_fifty year[s] and_he/it_died.
