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. |
