Genesis
9 |
| |
|
Covenant
of the Rainbow |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 9:1
|
|
And God
blessed Noah and his sons and said to them,
"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the
earth. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:2
|
|
"The fear
of you and the terror of you will be on
every beast of the earth and on every bird
of the sky; with everything that creeps
on the ground, and all the fish of the sea,
into your hand they are given. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:3
|
|
"Every moving
thing that is alive shall be food for you;
I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:4
|
|
"Only you
shall not eat flesh with its life, that
is, its blood. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:5
|
|
"Surely
I will require your lifeblood; from every
beast I will require it. And from every
man, from every man's brother I will require
the life of man. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:6
|
|
"Whoever
sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall
be shed, For in the image of God He made
man. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:7
|
|
"As for
you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate
the earth abundantly and multiply in it." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:8
|
|
Then God
spoke to Noah and to his sons with him,
saying, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:9
|
|
"Now behold,
I Myself do establish My covenant with you,
and with your descendants after you; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:10
|
|
and with
every living creature that is with you,
the birds, the cattle, and every beast of
the earth with you; of all that comes out
of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:11
|
|
"I establish
My covenant with you; and all flesh shall
never again be cut off by the water of the
flood, neither shall there again be a flood
to destroy the earth." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:12
|
|
God said,
"This is the sign of the covenant which
I am making between Me and you and every
living creature that is with you, for all
successive generations; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:13
|
|
I set My
bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a
sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:14
|
|
"It shall
come about, when I bring a cloud over the
earth, that the bow will be seen in the
cloud, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:15
|
|
and I will
remember My covenant, which is between Me
and you and every living creature of all
flesh; and never again shall the water become
a flood to destroy all flesh. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:16
|
|
"When the
bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon
it, to remember the everlasting covenant
between God and every living creature of
all flesh that is on the earth." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:17
|
|
And God
said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant
which I have established between Me and
all flesh that is on the earth." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:18
|
|
Now the
sons of Noah who came out of the ark were
Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the
father of Canaan. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:19
|
|
These three
were the sons of Noah, and from these the
whole earth was populated. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:20
|
|
Then Noah
began farming and planted a vineyard. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:21
|
|
He drank
of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered
himself inside his tent. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:22
|
|
Ham, the
father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
father, and told his two brothers outside. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:23
|
|
But Shem
and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon
both their shoulders and walked backward
and covered the nakedness of their father;
and their faces were turned away, so that
they did not see their father's nakedness. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:24
|
|
When Noah
awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest
son had done to him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:25
|
|
So he said,
"Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants
He shall be to his brothers." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:26
|
|
He also
said, "Blessed be the LORD, The God of Shem;
And let Canaan be his servant. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:27
|
|
"May God
enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the
tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:28
|
|
Noah lived
three hundred and fifty years after the
flood. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 9:29
|
|
So all the
days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty
years, and he died. |
