God’s Covenant with Noah
1God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. # Gn 1:28; 8:17; 9:7; 35:11 2The fear and terror of you will be in every living creature on the earth, every bird of the sky, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are placed under your authority. # Lit are given in your hand 3Every living creature will be food for you; # Dt 12:15; 1Tm 4:3-4 as I gave the green plants, I have given you everything. # Gn 1:28-30 4However, you must not eat meat with its lifeblood in it. # Lv 3:17; 7:20; 17:10-16; 19:26; Dt 12:16,23; 15:23; 1Sm 14:34; Ac 15:20,29 5I will require the life of every animal # Ex 21:28 and every man for your life and your blood. I will require the life of each man’s brother for a man’s life. # Gn 4:2,8
6Whoever sheds man’s blood,
his blood will be shed by man, # Ex 21:12-14; Lv 24:17; Nm 35:33; Mt 26:52
for God made man in His image. # Gn 1:26-27
7But you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out over the earth and multiply on it.” # Gn 1:28
8Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, 9“Understand that I am confirming My covenant # Gn 6:18; 8:22; 17:2; Ex 6:4; 19:5; Lv 26:9 with you and your descendants after you, 10and with every living creature that is with you — birds, livestock, and all wildlife of the earth that are with you — all the animals of the earth that came out of the ark. 11I confirm My covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by the waters of a flood; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” # Is 54:9-10
12And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant # Gn 17:11 I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all future generations: 13I have placed My bow in the clouds, # Ezk 1:28; Rv 4:3; 10:1 and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, 15I will remember My covenant # Lv 26:42,45; Dt 7:9; 1Kg 8:23; Ezk 16:60 between Me and you and all the living creatures: # Lit and creatures of all flesh water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature. 16The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the everlasting covenant # Gn 17:13; 2Sm 23:5; 1Ch 16:17; Is 24:5 between God and all the living creatures # Lit creatures of all flesh on earth.” 17God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between Me and every creature on earth.”
Prophecies about Noah’s Family
18Noah’s sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. 19These three were Noah’s sons, and from them the whole earth was populated. # Gn 9:1,7; 10:32; 1Ch 1:4
20Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant # Or Noah began to be a farmer and planted a vineyard. 21He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. # Lm 4:21; Hab 2:15 23Then Shem and Japheth took a cloak and placed it over both their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father naked.
24When Noah awoke from his drinking and learned what his youngest son had done to him, 25he said:
Canaan will be cursed. # Dt 27:16
He will be the lowest of slaves to his brothers. # Jos 9:23; Jdg 1:28; 1Kg 9:20-21
26He also said:
Praise the Lord, the God of Shem;
Canaan will be # As a prophecy; others interpret the verbs in vv. 26-27 as a wish or prayer: let Canaan be . . . his slave.
27God will extend # In Hb, the name Japheth sounds like the word “extend.” Japheth;
he will dwell in the tents of Shem;
Canaan will be his slave.
28Now Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29So Noah’s life lasted 950 years; then he died.

創世記 9

上帝與挪亞立約
1上帝賜福給挪亞和他的兒子,對他們說:「你們要生養眾多,遍滿這地。 2地上一切的走獸、天空一切的飛鳥、所有爬行在土地上的和海裏一切的魚都必怕你們,畏懼你們,牠們都要交在你們手裏。 3凡活的動物都可作你們的食物。這一切我都賜給你們,如同綠色的菜蔬一樣。 4只是帶著生命的肉,就是帶著血的,你們不可吃。 5流你們血、害你們命的,我必向他追討;我要向一切走獸追討,向人和向人的弟兄追討人命。 6凡流人血的,他的血也必被人所流,因為上帝造人,是照自己的形像造的。 7你們要生養眾多,在地上繁衍昌盛。」
8上帝對挪亞和同他一起的兒子說: 9「看哪,我要與你們和你們後裔立我的約, 10包括和你們一起所有的生物,就是飛鳥、牲畜、地上一切的走獸,凡從方舟裏出來地上一切的生物。 11我與你們立我的約:凡有血肉的,不再被洪水滅絕,也不再有洪水毀壞這地了。」 12上帝說:「這是我與你們,以及和你們一起的一切生物所立之約的記號,直到萬代: 13我把彩虹放在雲中,這就是我與地立約的記號了。 14我使雲遮地的時候,會有彩虹出現在雲中, 15我就記念我與你們,以及各樣有血肉的生物所立的約:不再有洪水氾濫去毀滅一切有血肉的了。 16彩虹出現在雲中,我看見了,就要記念上帝與地上一切有血肉的生物所立的永約。」 17上帝對挪亞說:「這就是我與地上一切有血肉的立約的記號。」
挪亞和他的兒子們
18 挪亞的兒子,從方舟出來的,有閃、含和雅弗。含是迦南的父親。 19這是挪亞的三個兒子,他們的後裔散佈全地。 20挪亞是農夫,是他開始栽葡萄園的。 21他喝了一些酒就醉了,在他的帳棚裏赤著身子。 22迦南的父親含看見他父親赤身,就到外面告訴他的兩個兄弟。 23於是閃和雅弗拿了外衣搭在二人肩上,倒退著進去,遮蓋父親的赤身;他們背著臉,看不見父親的赤身。 24挪亞酒醒以後,知道小兒子向他所做的事, 25就說:
「迦南當受詛咒,
必給他弟兄作奴僕的奴僕。」
26又說:
「耶和華—閃的上帝是應當稱頌的!
願迦南作閃的奴僕。
27願上帝使雅弗擴張,
願他住在閃的帳棚裏;
願迦南作他的奴僕。」
28洪水以後,挪亞又活了三百五十年。 29挪亞共活了九百五十年,就死了。
