Genesis 9

New Living Translation NLT

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.

2 All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power.

3 I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

4 But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.

5 “And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.

6 If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.

7 Now be fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth.”

8 Then God told Noah and his sons,

9 “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,

10 and with all the animals that were on the boat with you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals—every living creature on earth.

11 Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.”

12 Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come.

13 I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.

14 When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds,

15 and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.

16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”

17 Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with their father were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham is the father of Canaan.)

19 From these three sons of Noah came all the people who now populate the earth.

20 After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.

21 One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers.

23 Then Shem and Japheth took a robe, held it over their shoulders, and backed into the tent to cover their father. As they did this, they looked the other way so they would not see him naked.

24 When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done.

25 Then he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham: “May Canaan be cursed! May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.”

26 Then Noah said, “May the LORD, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant!

27 May God expand the territory of Japheth! May Japheth share the prosperity of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28 Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood.

29 He lived 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.
