Genesis 9

¹And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.

²Also the feare of you, and the dread of you shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the heauen, vpon all that moueth on the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they deliuered.

³Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.

⁴But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate.

⁵For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man.

⁶Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.

⁷But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.

⁸God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,

⁹Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,

¹⁰And with euery liuing creature that is with you, with the foule, with the cattell, and with euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, vnto euery beast of the earth.

¹¹And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more.
