1. Mosebog 9:1-29

Guds pagt med Noa

1Gud velsignede Noa og hans sønner: „Formér jer og bliv mange!” sagde han. „Spred jer over jorden. 2Dyrene, fuglene og fiskene vil frygte for jer, fordi jeg har givet jer magt over dem. 3Jeg har givet dem til jer, og I må gerne spise dem såvel som de grønne planter, jeg tidligere har givet jer. 4Men fordi livet er i blodet, må I ikke spise kød, som stadig indeholder blod. 5Menneskers livsblod vil jeg kræve hævn for. Ethvert dyr, som dræber et menneske, skal dø. 6Ethvert menneske, der slår et andet menneske ihjel, skal henrettes for at have myrdet et levende væsen, som er skabt i Guds billede. 7Formér jer og få mange børn så jeres efterkommere kan brede sig ud over hele jorden.”

8Derpå sagde Gud til Noa og hans sønner: 9„Jeg vil oprette min pagt med jer og jeres efterkommere 10og med alle de dyr, som er kommet ud af arken sammen med jer: 11Jeg vil aldrig mere sende en oversvømmelse, som udsletter alt liv på landjorden. 12Og jeg vil give jer et synligt tegn på denne evige pagt, som jeg opretter med jer og alle levende væsener. 13Jeg har sat min regnbue i skyerne. Den er tegn på mit evigtgyldige løfte til jer og til hele jorden. 14Når jeg sender regn over jorden, og regnbuen kommer til syne, 15så vil jeg huske mit løfte til jer og de andre levende væsener: at der aldrig igen vil komme en oversvømmelse, som ødelægger alt liv. 16Når jeg ser regnbuen i skyerne, vil jeg huske min evige pagt med alle levende væsener på jorden. 17Regnbuen er tegnet på denne pagt.”

Noas tre sønner

18-19Noas 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.

20Noa dyrkede jorden, og han var den første, der plantede en vingård. 21En dag drak han af vinen og blev stærkt beruset, så han smed tøjet og lå nøgen inde i sit telt. 22Kam kom ind og så sin far nøgen. Han gik straks ud og fortalte sine brødre det. 23Så 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. 24Da 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. 26Må Herren, min Gud, velsigne Sems slægt, og må kana’anæerne trælle for dem. 27Må Gud give Jafets slægt meget land, må de trives som Sems slægt, og må kana’anæerne også trælle for dem.”

28Noa levede endnu 350 år efter oversvømmelsen. 29Han var 950 år gammel, da han døde.

King James Version

Genesis 9:1-29

1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2And 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. 3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5And 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. 6Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 7And 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, 9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10And 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. 11And 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.

12And 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: 13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15And 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. 16And 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. 17And 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.9.18 Canaan: Heb. Chenaan 19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23And 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’s nakedness.

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.9.26 his servant: or, servant to them 27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.9.27 enlarge: or, persuade

28¶ And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
