Genesis 9:3-21
-
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
-
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
-
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
-
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
-
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
-
8 And God spake 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 beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
-
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 bow 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 bow 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 bow 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.
