9. 4

the green herb have I given you all.&emsp; But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.&emsp; And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.&emsp; Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.&emsp; And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,&emsp; And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;&emsp; and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.&emsp; And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.&emsp; 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:&emsp; I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.&emsp; And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,&emsp; 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.&emsp; 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.&emsp; 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.

And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.&emsp; These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.

And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:&emsp; and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.&emsp; And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.&emsp; 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.&emsp; And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.&emsp; And he said,

And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.&emsp; And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, namely, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.&emsp; And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.&emsp; And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.&emsp; Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.&emsp; And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.&emsp; And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one Rh
