Genesis 9:8-29
8Then GodH430 spokeH559 to NoahH5146 and to his sonsH1121 with him, sayingH559, 9“Now beholdH2009, 1I MyselfH589 do establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with you, and with your 2descendantsH2233 afterH310 you; 10and with everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that is with you, the birdsH5775, the cattleH929, and everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776 with you; of allH3605 that comesH3318 out of the arkH8392, even everyH3605 beastH2421 of the earthH776. 11I establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with you; and allH3605 fleshH1320 shall 3neverH3808 againH5750 be cutH3772 offH3772 by the waterH4325 of the floodH3999, 4neitherH3808 shall there againH5750 be a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 the earthH776.” 12GodH430 saidH559, “ThisH2088 is 5the signH226 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 I am makingH5414 betweenH996 Me and you and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that is with you, for 6allH5769 successiveH5769 generationsH1755; 13I setH5414 My 7bowH7198 in the cloudH6051, and it shall be for a signH226 of a covenantH1285 betweenH996 Me and the earthH776. 14It shall comeH1961 about, when I bringH6049 a cloudH6051 overH5921 the earthH776, that the bowH7198 will be seenH7200 in the cloudH6051, 15and 8I will rememberH2142 My covenantH1285, whichH834 is betweenH996 Me and you and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320; and 9neverH3808 againH5750 shall the waterH4325 becomeH1961 a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 allH3605 fleshH1320. 16When the bowH7198 is in the cloudH6051, then I will lookH7200 upon it, to rememberH2142 the 10everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 betweenH996 GodH430 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320 that is on the earthH776.” 17And GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “ThisH2088 is the signH226 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 I have establishedH6965 betweenH996 Me and allH3605 fleshH1320 that is on the earthH776.”
18Now the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146 who cameH3318 out of the arkH8392 were ShemH8035 and HamH2526 and JaphethH3315; and 11HamH2526 was the fatherH1 of CanaanH3667. 19TheseH428 threeH7969 were the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, and 12from theseH428 the wholeH3605 earthH776 was 13populatedH5310.
20Then NoahH5146 beganH2490 14farmingH376H127 and plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754. 21He drankH8354 of the wineH3196 and 15becameH7937 drunkH7937, and uncoveredH1540 himself insideH8432 his tentH168. 22HamH2526, the fatherH1 of CanaanH3667, 16sawH7200 the nakednessH6172 of his fatherH1, and toldH5046 his twoH8147 brothersH251 outsideH2351. 23But ShemH8035 and JaphethH3315 tookH3947 a garmentH8071 and laidH7760 it upon bothH8147 their shouldersH7926 and walkedH1980 backwardH322 and coveredH3680 the nakednessH6172 of their fatherH1; and their facesH6440 were 17turnedH322 awayH322, so that they did not seeH7200 their father’sH1 nakednessH6172. 24When NoahH5146 awokeH3364 from his wineH3196, he knewH3045 whatH834 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 had doneH6213 to him. 25So he saidH559, “18CursedH779 be CanaanH3667; 1920A servantH5650 of servantsH5650 He shall be to his brothersH251.” 26He also saidH559, “21BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, The GodH430 of ShemH8035; And let CanaanH3667 be 22his servantH5650.2723May GodH430 enlargeH6601 JaphethH3315, And let him dwellH7931 in the tentsH168 of ShemH8035; And let CanaanH3667 be 24his servantH5650.”
28NoahH5146 livedH2421 threeH7969 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 afterH310 the floodH3999. 29So allH3605 the daysH3117 of NoahH5146 were nineH8672 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 yearsH8141, and he diedH4191.
