Genesis 9
Revised Version 1895
1And GodH430 blessedH1288 NoahH5146 and his sonsH1121, and saidH559 unto them, Be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235, and replenish the earthH776. 2And the fearH4172 of youH834 and the dread of youH834 shall be uponH5921 everyH3605 beastH2416 of the earthH776, and uponH5921 everyH3605 fowlH5775 of the air; with allH3605 wherewith the groundH776 teemeth, and allH3605 the fishes of the seaH3220, intoH5921 your handH3027 are they deliveredH5414. 3EveryH3605 movingH7431 thingH7431 that liveth shall be foodH402 for youH834; as the greenH3418 herbH6212 have I givenH5414 youH834 allH3605. 4But fleshH1320 with the lifeH5315 thereof, which is the bloodH1818 thereof, shall ye notH3808 eatH398. 5And surelyH389 your bloodH1818, the bloodH1818 of your livesH5315, will I requireH1875; at the handH3027 of everyH3605 beastH2416 will I requireH1875 it: and at the handH3027 of manH376, evenH853 at the handH3027 of everyH3605 man’sH376 brotherH251, will I requireH1875 the lifeH5315 of manH376. 6Whoso sheddeth man’sH120 bloodH1818, by manH120 shall his bloodH1818 be shedH8210: for in the imageH6754 of GodH430 madeH6213 he manH120. 7And youH859, be ye fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235; bring forth abundantlyH8317 in the earthH776, and multiplyH7235 therein. 8And GodH430 spake unto NoahH5146, and to his sonsH1121 with him, sayingH559, 9And I, beholdH2005, I establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with youH853, and with your seedH2233 afterH310 youH853; 10and with everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that is with youH834, the fowlH5775, the cattleH929, and everyH3605 beastH929 of the earthH776 with youH834; of allH3605 that goH3318 outH3318 of the arkH8392, evenH776 everyH3605 beastH929 of the earthH776. 11And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with youH3605; neitherH3808 shall allH3605 fleshH1320 be cutH3772 offH3772 anyH3605 moreH5750 by the watersH4325 of the floodH3999; neitherH3808 shall there anyH3605 moreH5750 be a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 the earthH776. 12And GodH430 saidH559, This is the token of the covenantH1285 whichH834 I makeH5414 betweenH996 meH5414 and youH834 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 that is with youH834, for perpetualH5769 generationsH1755: 13I do setH5414 my bowH7198 in the cloudH6051, and it shall be for a token of a covenantH1285 betweenH996 meH5414 and the earthH776. 14And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when I bringH1961 a cloudH6051 over the earthH776, that the bowH7198 shall be seenH7200 in the cloudH6051, 15and I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285, whichH834 is betweenH996 meH5315 and youH834 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320; and the watersH4325 shall noH3808 moreH5750 becomeH1961 a floodH3999 to destroyH7843 allH3605 fleshH1320. 16And the bowH7198 shall be in the cloudH6051; and I will lookH7200 uponH5921 it, that I may rememberH2142 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 betweenH996 GodH430 and everyH3605 livingH2416 creatureH5315 of allH3605 fleshH1320 that is uponH5921 the earthH776. 17And GodH430 saidH559 unto NoahH5146, This is the token of the covenantH1285 whichH834 I have establishedH6965 betweenH996 meH413 and allH3605 fleshH1320 that is uponH5921 the earthH776. 18And the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, that wentH3318 forthH3318 of the arkH8392, were ShemH8035, and HamH2526, and JaphethH3315: and HamH2526 is the fatherH1 of CanaanH3667. 19TheseH428 threeH7969 were the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146: and of theseH428 was the wholeH3605 earthH776 overspread. 20And NoahH5146 beganH2490 to be an husbandman, and plantedH5193 a vineyardH3754: 21and he drankH8354 of the wineH3196, and was drunken; and he was uncoveredH1540 withinH8432 his tentH168. 22And HamH2526, the fatherH1 of CanaanH3667, sawH7200 the nakednessH6172 of his fatherH1, and toldH5046 his twoH8147 brethrenH251 without. 23And ShemH8035 and JaphethH3315 tookH3947 a garmentH8071, and laidH7760 it uponH5921 bothH8147 their shouldersH7926, and wentH6440 backwardH322, and coveredH3680 the nakednessH6172 of their fatherH1; and their facesH6440 were backwardH322, and they sawH7200 notH3808 their father’sH1 nakednessH6172. 24And NoahH5146 awokeH3364 from his wineH3196, and knewH3045 whatH834 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 had doneH6213 unto him. 25And he saidH559, CursedH779 be CanaanH3667; A servantH5650 of servantsH5650 shall he be unto his brethrenH251. 26And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of ShemH8035; And letH1961 CanaanH3667 be his servantH5650. 27GodH430 enlargeH6601 JaphethH3315, And letH1961 him dwellH7931 in the tentsH168 of ShemH8035; And letH1961 CanaanH3667 be his servantH5650. 28And NoahH5146 livedH2421 afterH310 the floodH3999 threeH7969 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 yearsH8141. 29And allH3605 the daysH3117 of NoahH5146 were nineH8672 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 yearsH8141: and he diedH4191.
