The First Book of Moses: Called Genesis
1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth.
1:2 And the earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the
waters.
1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light.
1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good:
and God divided the light
from the darkness.
1:5 And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the
first day.
1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament
in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the
waters.
1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided
the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament:
and it was so.
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And
the evening and the
morning were the second day.
1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the
heaven be gathered together
unto one place, and let the dry land appear:
and it was so.
1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and
the gathering together of
the waters called he Seas: and God saw that
it was good.
1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth
grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit
after his kind, whose seed is
in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and
herb yielding seed after
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose
seed was in itself, after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:13 And the evening and the morning were
the third day.
1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in
the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night; and let
them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days, and years: 1:15 And
let them be for lights in
the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth: and it was
so.
1:16 And God made two great lights; the
greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he
made the stars also.
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of
the heaven to give light
upon the earth, 1:18 And to rule over the
day and over the night, and
to divide the light from the darkness: and
God saw that it was good.
1:19 And the evening and the morning were
the fourth day.
1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring
forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may
fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven.
1:21 And God created great whales, and every
living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind,
and every winged fowl after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth.
1:23 And the evening and the morning were
the fifth day.
1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth
the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and
beast of the earth after his
kind: and it was so.
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth
after his kind, and cattle
after their kind, and every thing that
creepeth upon the earth after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl
of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
1:27 So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl
of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth.
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you
every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and
every tree, in the which
is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you
it shall be for meat.
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to
every fowl of the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the
earth, wherein there is
life, I have given every green herb for
meat: and it was so.
1:31 And God saw every thing that he had
made, and, behold, it was
very good. And the evening and the morning
were the sixth day.
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of
them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his
work which he had made; and
he rested on the seventh day from all his
work which he had made.
2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that
in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.
2:4 These are the generations of the heavens
and of the earth when
they were created, in the day that the LORD
God made the earth and the
heavens, 2:5 And every plant of the field
before it was in the earth,
and every herb of the field before it grew:
for the LORD God had not
caused it to rain upon the earth, and there
was not a man to till the
ground.
2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole
face of the ground.
2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust
of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living
soul.
2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden
eastward in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed.
2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God
to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food;
the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil.
2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water
the garden; and from thence
it was parted, and became into four heads.
2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is
it which compasseth the
whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
2:12 And the gold of that
land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone.
2:13 And the name of the second river is
Gihon: the same is it that
compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
2:14 And the name of the third river is
Hiddekel: that is it which
goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the
fourth river is Euphrates.
2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put
him into the garden of
Eden to dress it and to keep it.
2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat: 2:17 But of
the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou
eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good
that the man should be
alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God
formed every beast of the
field, and every fowl of the air; and
brought them unto Adam to see
what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam
called every living
creature, that was the name thereof.
2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and
to the fowl of the air,
and to every beast of the field; but for
Adam there was not found an
help meet for him.
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to
fall upon Adam, and he
slept: and he took one of his ribs, and
closed up the flesh instead
thereof; 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD
God had taken from man, made
he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my
flesh: she shall be called Woman, because
she was taken out of Man.
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
2:25 And they were both naked, the man and
his wife, and were not
ashamed.
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any
beast of the field which
the LORD God had made. And he said unto the
woman, Yea, hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?
3:2 And the woman said
unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of
the trees of the garden:
3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in
the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest
ye die.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die:
3:5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil.
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that
it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to
be desired to make one
wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they
were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together, and made themselves
aprons.
3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God
walking in the garden in
the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife
hid themselves from the
presence of the LORD God amongst the trees
of the garden.
3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and
said unto him, Where art
thou? 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in
the garden, and I was
afraid, because I was naked; and I hid
myself.
3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou
wast naked? Hast thou eaten
of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat?
3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou
gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman,
What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat.
3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and
above every beast of the
field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and
dust shalt thou eat all the
days of thy life:
3:15 And I will put enmity
between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it
shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel.
3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring
forth children; and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall
rule over thee.
3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou
hast hearkened unto the voice
of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is
the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life;
3:18 Thorns
also and thistles shall it bring forth to
thee; and thou shalt eat the
herb of the field; 3:19 In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread,
till thou return unto the ground; for out of
it wast thou taken: for
dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return.
3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve;
because she was the mother
of all living.
3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
LORD God make coats of
skins, and clothed them.
3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man
is become as one of us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he put
forth his hand, and take also
of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever:
3:23 Therefore the
LORD God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the ground
from whence he was taken.
3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed
at the east of the garden
of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which
turned every way, to keep
the way of the tree of life.
4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she
conceived, and bare Cain, and
said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And
Abel was a keeper of
sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
4:3 And in process of time it came to pass,
that Cain brought of the
fruit of the ground an offering unto the
LORD.
4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the
firstlings of his flock and of
the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect
unto Abel and to his
offering:
4:5 But unto Cain and to his
offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance
fell.
4:6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art
thou wroth? and why is thy
countenance fallen?
4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be
accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin
lieth at the door. And unto
thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt
rule over him.
4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother:
and it came to pass, when
they were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother,
and slew him.
4:9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is
Abel thy brother? And he
said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
4:10 And he said, What
hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's
blood crieth unto me from
the ground.
4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her
mouth to receive thy brother's blood from
thy hand;
4:12 When thou
tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth
yield unto thee her
strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt
thou be in the earth.
4:13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My
punishment is greater than I can
bear.
4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this
day from the face of the
earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and
I shall be a fugitive and
a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come
to pass, that every one
that findeth me shall slay me.
4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore
whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.
And the LORD set a mark
upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill
him.
4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of
the LORD, and dwelt in the
land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she
conceived, and bare Enoch: and he
builded a city, and called the name of the
city, after the name of his
son, Enoch.
4:18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad
begat Mehujael: and
Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael
begat Lamech.
4:19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the
name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other Zillah.
4:20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father
of such as dwell in tents,
and of such as have cattle.
4:21 And his brother's name was Jubal: he
was the father of all such
as handle the harp and organ.
4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an
instructer of every
artificer in brass and iron: and the sister
of Tubalcain was Naamah.
4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah
and Zillah, Hear my voice;
ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:
for I have slain a man to
my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
4:24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold.
4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she
bare a son, and called his
name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed
me another seed instead
of Abel, whom Cain slew.
4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born
a son; and he called his
name Enos: then began men to call upon the
name of the LORD.
5:1 This is the book of the generations of
Adam. In the day that God
created man, in the likeness of God made he
him;
5:2 Male and female
created he them; and blessed them, and
called their name Adam, in the
day when they were created.
5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty
years, and begat a son in his
own likeness, and after his image; and
called his name Seth:
5:4 And
the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth
were eight hundred years:
and he begat sons and daughters: 5:5 And all
the days that Adam lived
were nine hundred and thirty years: and he
died.
5:6 And Seth lived an hundred and five
years, and begat Enos:
5:7 And
Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred
and seven years, and
begat sons and daughters: 5:8 And all the
days of Seth were nine
hundred and twelve years: and he died.
5:9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat
Cainan:
5:10 And Enos lived
after he begat Cainan eight hundred and
fifteen years, and begat sons
and daughters: 5:11 And all the days of Enos
were nine hundred and
five years: and he died.
5:12 And Cainan lived seventy years and
begat Mahalaleel:
5:13 And
Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight
hundred and forty years,
and begat sons and daughters: 5:14 And all
the days of Cainan were
nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
5:15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five
years, and begat Jared:
5:16
And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared
eight hundred and thirty
years, and begat sons and daughters: 5:17
And all the days of
Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and
five years: and he died.
5:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and
two years, and he begat
Enoch:
5:19 And Jared lived after he begat
Enoch eight hundred years,
and begat sons and daughters:
5:20 And all
the days of Jared were nine
hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years,
and begat Methuselah:
5:22
And Enoch walked with God after he begat
Methuselah three hundred
years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:23
And all the days of Enoch
were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with
God: and he was not; for God took him.
5:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty
and seven years, and begat
Lamech.
5:26 And Methuselah lived after he begat
Lamech seven hundred eighty
and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:27 And all the days of
Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine
years: and he died.
5:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and
two years, and begat a
son: 5:29 And he called his name Noah,
saying, This same shall comfort
us concerning our work and toil of our
hands, because of the ground
which the LORD hath cursed.
5:30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah
five hundred ninety and five
years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:31
And all the days of Lamech
were seven hundred seventy and seven years:
and he died.
5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old:
and Noah begat Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born unto them,
6:2 That the sons of God saw
the daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of
all which they chose.
6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not
always strive with man, for
that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be
an hundred and twenty
years.
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those
days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the
daughters of men, and they bare
children to them, the same became mighty men
which were of old, men of
renown.
6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of
his heart was only evil
continually.
6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had
made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart.
6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the
face of the earth; both man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and
the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me
that I have made them.
6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
LORD.
6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah
was a just man and perfect
in his generations, and Noah walked with
God.
6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God,
and the earth was filled
with violence.
6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and,
behold, it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the
earth.
6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all
flesh is come before me;
for the earth is filled with violence
through them; and, behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.
6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms
shalt thou make in the
ark, and shalt pitch it within and without
with pitch.
6:15 And this is the fashion which thou
shalt make it of: The length
of the ark shall be three hundred cubits,
the breadth of it fifty
cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark,
and in a cubit shalt thou
finish it above; and the door of the ark
shalt thou set in the side
thereof; with lower, second, and third
stories shalt thou make it.
6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a
flood of waters upon the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life, from under
heaven; and every thing that is in the earth
shall die.
6:18 But with thee will I establish my
covenant; and thou shalt come
into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy
wife, and thy sons' wives
with thee.
6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh,
two of every sort shalt
thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive
with thee; they shall be
male and female.
6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of
cattle after their kind, of
every creeping thing of the earth after his
kind, two of every sort
shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
6:21 And take thou unto thee of all food
that is eaten, and thou shalt
gather it to thee; and it shall be for food
for thee, and for them.
6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that
God commanded him, so did
he.
7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou
and all thy house into the
ark; for thee have I seen righteous before
me in this generation.
7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to
thee by sevens, the male
and his female: and of beasts that are not
clean by two, the male and
his female.
7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the
male and the female; to
keep seed alive upon the face of all the
earth.
7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it
to rain upon the earth
forty days and forty nights; and every
living substance that I have
made will I destroy from off the face of the
earth.
7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the
LORD commanded him.
7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when
the flood of waters was
upon the earth.
7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his
wife, and his sons' wives
with him, into the ark, because of the
waters of the flood.
7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are
not clean, and of fowls,
and of every thing that creepeth upon the
earth, 7:9 There went in two
and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and
the female, as God had
commanded Noah.
7:10 And it came to pass after seven days,
that the waters of the
flood were upon the earth.
7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's
life, in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month, the same
day were all the fountains
of the great deep broken up, and the windows
of heaven were opened.
7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights.
7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and
Shem, and Ham, and Japheth,
the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the
three wives of his sons
with them, into the ark; 7:14 They, and
every beast after his kind,
and all the cattle after their kind, and
every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and
every fowl after his kind,
every bird of every sort.
7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the
ark, two and two of all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
7:16 And they that went in, went in male and
female of all flesh, as
God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him
in.
7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the
earth; and the waters
increased, and bare up the ark, and it was
lift up above the earth.
7:18 And the waters prevailed, and were
increased greatly upon the
earth; and the ark went upon the face of the
waters.
7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly
upon the earth; and all the
high hills, that were under the whole
heaven, were covered.
7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters
prevail; and the mountains
were covered.
7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the
earth, both of fowl, and
of cattle, and of beast, and of every
creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth, and every man: 7:22 All in
whose nostrils was the
breath of life, of all that was in the dry
land, died.
7:23 And every living substance was
destroyed which was upon the face
of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the
creeping things, and the
fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed
from the earth: and Noah
only remained alive, and they that were with
him in the ark.
7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty
days.
8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every
living thing, and all the
cattle that was with him in the ark: and God
made a wind to pass over
the earth, and the waters asswaged;
8:2 The
fountains also of the deep
and the windows of heaven were stopped, and
the rain from heaven was
restrained;
8:3 And the waters returned from
off the earth
continually: and after the end of the
hundred and fifty days the
waters were abated.
8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the seventeenth day of
the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
8:5 And the waters decreased continually
until the tenth month: in the
tenth month, on the first day of the month,
were the tops of the
mountains seen.
8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty
days, that Noah opened the
window of the ark which he had made:
8:7 And
he sent forth a raven,
which went forth to and fro, until the
waters were dried up from off
the earth.
8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to
see if the waters were
abated from off the face of the ground;
8:9
But the dove found no rest
for the sole of her foot, and she returned
unto him into the ark, for
the waters were on the face of the whole
earth: then he put forth his
hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto
him into the ark.
8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth the
dove out of the ark; 8:11 And the dove came
in to him in the evening;
and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf
pluckt off: so Noah knew that
the waters were abated from off the earth.
8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
sent forth the dove;
which returned not again unto him any more.
8:13 And it came to pass in the six
hundredth and first year, in the
first month, the first day of the month, the
waters were dried up from
off the earth: and Noah removed the covering
of the ark, and looked,
and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
8:14 And in the second month, on the seven
and twentieth day of the
month, was the earth dried.
8:15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
8:16
Go forth of the ark, thou,
and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons'
wives with thee.
8:17 Bring forth with thee every living
thing that is with thee, of
all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and
of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth; that they may
breed abundantly in the
earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon
the earth.
8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and
his wife, and his sons'
wives with him:
8:19 Every beast, every
creeping thing, and every
fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the
earth, after their kinds, went
forth out of the ark.
8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the
LORD; and took of every clean
beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered
burnt offerings on the
altar.
8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour;
and the LORD said in his
heart, I will not again curse the ground any
more for man's sake; for
the imagination of man's heart is evil from
his youth; neither will I
again smite any more every thing living, as
I have done.
8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day and
night shall not cease.
9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and
said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth.
9:2 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 moveth
upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of
the sea; into your hand are
they delivered.
9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be
meat for you; even as the
green herb have I given you all things.
9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which
is the blood thereof, shall
ye not eat.
9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will
I require; at the hand of
every beast will I require it, and at the
hand of man; at the hand of
every man's brother will I require the life
of man.
9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall
his blood be shed: for in
the image of God made he man.
9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply;
bring forth abundantly in
the earth, and multiply therein.
9:8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons
with him, saying,
9:9 And
I, behold, I establish my covenant with you,
and with your seed after
you;
9:10 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 out of the ark, to every beast
of the earth.
9:11 And I will establish my covenant with
you, neither shall all
flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a
flood; neither shall
there any more be a flood to destroy the
earth.
9:12 And God said, This is the token of the
covenant which I make
between me and you and every living creature
that is with you, for
perpetual generations: 9:13 I do set my bow
in the cloud, and it shall
be for a token of a covenant between me and
the earth.
9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring
a cloud over the earth,
that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
9:15 And I will remember 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 destroy all
flesh.
9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and
I will look upon it, that
I may remember the everlasting covenant
between God and every living
creature of all flesh that is upon the
earth.
9:17 And God said unto Noah, This is the
token of the covenant, which
I have established between me and all flesh
that is upon the earth.
9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth
of the ark, were Shem, and
Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of
Canaan.
9:19 These are the three sons of Noah: and
of them was the whole earth
overspread.
9:20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and
he planted a vineyard:
9:21 And he drank of the wine, and was
drunken; and he was uncovered
within his tent.
9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the
nakedness of his father,
and told his two brethren without.
9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment,
and laid it upon both their
shoulders, and went backward, and covered
the nakedness of their
father; and their faces were backward, and
they saw not their father's
nakedness.
9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew
what his younger son had
done unto him.
9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a
servant of servants shall he be
unto his brethren.
9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of
Shem; and Canaan shall be
his servant.
9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall
dwell in the tents of
Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three
hundred and fifty years.
9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine
hundred and fifty years: and
he died.
