Genesis 9

God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, every bird of the sky, everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hands. Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. But you must not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. I will surely require an accounting for your lifeblood. From every animal I will require it, and from man; from each man I will require an accounting for his brother’s life. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man will his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. As for you, be fruitful and multiply; abound on the earth and multiply on it.” Then God spoke to Noah and his sons with him, saying, “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you and with your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you—all that came out of the ark, every animal of the earth. I establish my covenant with you: never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am giving between me and you and every living creature with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will look at it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all flesh on the earth.” The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were Noah’s sons, and from them the whole earth was populated. Noah began to work the ground, and he planted a vineyard. He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he was uncovered inside his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside. Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it across both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness. When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him, he said,
“Cursed be Canaan!
A slave of slaves he will be to his brothers.” He also said,
“Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem, and let Canaan be their slave. May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem;
and let Canaan be their slave.” After the flood Noah lived 350 years. All the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
