Genesis 9:1-17 And God blessed Noah and his sons. And He said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And God blessed Noah and his sons. And He said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. ² And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon the animals of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon all that moves on the earth, and upon all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. ³ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herb. ⁴ But you shall not eat of flesh with the life in it, or the blood of it. ⁵ and surely the blood of your lives will I require. At the hand of every animal 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. ⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood shall be shed by man; for He made man in the image of God. ⁷ And you be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and increase in it. ⁸ And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, ⁹ Behold! I, even I, establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you; ¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you, of the birds, of the cattle, and of every animal of the earth with you; from all that go out from the ark, to every animal 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 with you, for everlasting generations: ¹³ I set my rainbow in the cloud. And it shall be a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ And it shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud. 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 rainbow 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 to Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
