God's Post Flood Instructions
1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply.
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.
God blessed Noah and his sons and said,
Have lots of children. [1]
All the animals will be afraid of you. [2]
Do whatever you'd like with them. [3]
3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you
all things.
Eat any living thing that moves, along with all the plants. [4]
4
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
But don't eat anything while it is still alive. And don't eat blood. [5]
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.
If a man or an animal kills a man, the brother of the victim must kill the killer. [6]
6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he
man.
Whoever kills a man must be killed by a man [7], because men are made in God's image.
7
And you, be ye fruitful,
and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
And have lots of childen. [8]
8
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
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.
God said to Noah and his sons,
I am making a promise to you, your descendants, and all of the beasts of the earth.
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.
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:
I promise to never again kill every living thing in a flood.
13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it
shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And here's a token of my promise: I will set a rainbow in the clouds. [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:
Whenever I make a cloud, there will be a rainbow.
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.
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.
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.
When I see it, it will remind me of my promise not to
destroy all living things in a flood.
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.
The sons of Noah - Shem, and Ham, and Japheth [10] - left the ark.
(Ham was Canaan's father.)
19
These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth
overspread.
Everyone on earth has descended from Noah's three sons.

were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Cursed by Canaan. He will be a slave of slaves to his brothers. [13]

servant.
