Genesis 9

New International Version NIV

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.

3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.

5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.

6 “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.

7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”

8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:

9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you

10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth.

11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)

19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.

23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him,

25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”

26 He also said, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.

27 May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”

28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years.

29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

Common English Bible CEB

1 God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fertile, multiply, and fill the earth.

2 All of the animals on the earth will fear you and dread you—all the birds in the skies, everything crawling on the ground, and all of the sea's fish. They are in your power.

3 Everything that lives and moves will be your food. Just as I gave you the green grasses, I now give you everything.

4 However, you must not eat meat with its life, its blood, in it.

5 I will surely demand your blood for a human life, from every living thing I will demand it. From humans, from a man for his brother, I will demand something for a human life.

6 Whoever sheds human blood, by a human his blood will be shed; for in the divine image God made human beings.

7 As for you, be fertile and multiply. Populate the earth and multiply in it."

8 God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

9 "I am now setting up my covenant with you, with your descendants,

10 and with every living being with you—with the birds, with the large animals, and with all the animals of the earth, leaving the ark with you.

11 I will set up my covenant with you so that never again will all life be cut off by floodwaters. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 God said, "This is the symbol of the covenant that I am drawing up between me and you and every living thing with you, on behalf of every future generation.

13 I have placed my bow in the clouds; it will be the symbol of the covenant between me and the earth.

14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds,

15 I will remember the covenant between me and you and every living being among all the creatures. Floodwaters will never again destroy all creatures.

16 The bow will be in the clouds, and upon seeing it I will remember the enduring covenant between God and every living being of all the earth's creatures."

17 God said to Noah, "This is the symbol of the covenant that I have set up between me and all creatures on earth."

18 Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth came out of the ark. Now Ham was Canaan's father.

19 These were Noah's three sons, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20 Noah, a farmer, made a new start and planted a vineyard.

21 He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and took off his clothes in his tent.

22 Ham, Canaan's father, saw his father naked and told his two brothers who were outside.

23 Shem and Japheth took a robe, threw it over their shoulders, walked backward, and covered their naked father without looking at him because they turned away.

24 When Noah woke up from his wine, he discovered what his youngest son had done to him.

25 He said, "Cursed be Canaan: the lowest servant he will be for his brothers."

26 He also said, "Bless the LORD, the God of Shem; Canaan will be his servant.

27 May God give space to Japheth; he will live in Shem's tents, and Canaan will be his servant."

28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

29 In all, Noah lived 950 years; then he died.
