Revised Version 1895
Genesis 9:1-17
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.
