Guds pagt med Noa

1 Gud velsignede Noa og hans sønner: „Formér jer og bliv mange!” sagde han. „Spred jer over jorden. 2 Dyrene, fuglene og fiskene vil frygte for jer, fordi jeg har givet jer magt over dem. 3 Jeg har givet dem til jer, og I må gerne spise dem såvel som de grønne planter, jeg tidligere har givet jer. 4 Men fordi livet er i blodet, må I ikke spise kød, som stadig indeholder blod. 5 Menneskers livsblod vil jeg kræve hævn for. Ethvert dyr, som dræber et menneske, skal dø. 6 Ethvert menneske, der slår et andet menneske ihjel, skal henrettes for at have myrdet et levende væsen, som er skabt i Guds billede. 7 Formér jer og få mange børn så jeres efterkommere kan brede sig ud over hele jorden.” 8 Derpå sagde Gud til Noa og hans sønner: 9 „Jeg vil oprette min pagt med jer og jeres efterkommere 10 og med alle de dyr, som er kommet ud af arken sammen med jer: 11 Jeg vil aldrig mere sende en oversvømmelse, som udsletter alt liv på landjorden. 12 Og jeg vil give jer et synligt tegn på denne evige pagt, som jeg opretter med jer og alle levende væsener. 13 Jeg har sat min regnbue i skyerne. Den er tegn på mit evigtgyldige løfte til jer og til hele jorden. 14 Når jeg sender regn over jorden, og regnbuen kommer til syne, 15 så vil jeg huske mit løfte til jer og de andre levende væsener: at der aldrig igen vil komme en oversvømmelse, som ødelægger alt liv. 16 Når jeg ser regnbuen i skyerne, vil jeg huske min evige pagt med alle levende væsener på jorden. 17 Regnbuen er tegnet på denne pagt.”

Noas tre sønner

18-19 Noas tre sønner, som var med i arken, hed Sem, Kam og Jafet, og fra dem nedstammer hele jordens befolkning. Det var Kam, der blev stamfar til kana’anæerne. 20 Noa dyrkede jorden, og han var den første, der plantede en vingård. 21 En dag drak han af vinen og blev stærkt beruset, så han smed tøjet og lå nøgen inde i sit telt. 22 Kam kom ind og så sin far nøgen. Han gik straks ud og fortalte sine brødre det. 23 Så tog Sem og Jafet en kappe over skuldrene, gik baglæns ind i teltet og tildækkede deres far. De vendte ryggen til, så de ikke så ham nøgen. 24 Da Noa vågnede og blev ædru, hørte han, hvad hans yngste søn havde gjort. 25 „Gud vil dømme Kana’an og hans efterkommere!” udbrød han. „Lad dem blive slaver for Sems og Jafets efterkommere. 26 Må Herren, min Gud, velsigne Sems slægt, og må kana’anæerne trælle for dem. 27 Må Gud give Jafets slægt meget land, må de trives som Sems slægt, og må kana’anæerne også trælle for dem.” 28 Noa levede endnu 350 år efter oversvømmelsen. 29 Han var 950 år gammel, da han døde.

King James Version

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 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. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 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' brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man' blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 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. 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: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow 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 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. 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. 19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 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' nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
