Chapître 9

1

And God blessed¹⁷ Noah and his sons, and said⁴ unto them, Be fruitful,³ and multiply,³ and replenish³ the earth.

2

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth⁴ [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.⁸

3

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given¹ you all things.

4

 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.⁴

5

And surely your blood of your lives will I require;⁴ at the hand of every beast will I require it,⁴ and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require⁴ the life of man.

6

Whoso sheddeth⁶ man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:¹¹ for in the image of God made¹ he man.

7

And you, be ye fruitful,³ and multiply;³ bring forth abundantly³ in the earth, and multiply³ therein.

8

And God spake⁴ unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,²

9

And I, behold, I establish⁵⁶ 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 out⁶ of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11

And I will establish⁵² my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off¹¹ any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy¹⁵ the earth.

12

And God said,⁴ This [is] the token of the covenant which I make⁶ between me and you and every living creature that [is] with you, for perpetual generations:

13

I do set¹ 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 bring¹⁵ a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen⁸ in the cloud:

15

And I will remember¹ 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 destroy¹⁵ all flesh.

16

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look¹ upon it, that I may remember² the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.

17

And God said⁴ unto Noah, This [is] the token of the covenant, which I have established⁵² between me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.

18

And the sons of Noah, that went forth⁶ of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham ¹⁹³¹ [is] the father of Canaan.

19

These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.¹

20

And Noah began⁵⁵ [to be] an husbandman, ¹²⁷ and he planted⁴ a vineyard:

21

And he drank⁴ of the wine, and was drunken;⁴ and he was uncovered¹⁰¹ within his tent.

22

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw⁴ the nakedness of his father, and told⁵⁵ his two brethren without.

23

And Shem and Japheth took⁴ a garment, and laid⁴ [it] upon both their shoulders, and went⁴ backward, and covered¹⁷ the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw¹ not their father's nakedness.

24

And Noah awoke⁴ from his wine, and knew⁴ what his younger son had done¹ unto him.

25

And he said,⁴ Cursed⁷ [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26

And he said,⁴ Blessed⁷ [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be⁴ his servant.

27

 God shall enlarge⁵⁵ Japheth, and he shall dwell⁴ in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28

And Noah lived⁴ after the flood three hundred ⁸¹⁴¹ and fifty years.

29

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred ⁸¹⁴¹ and fifty years: and he died.⁴
