Genesis 9:2-15 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

2. And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth on the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.

3. Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.

4. Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.

5. And indeed your blood, 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 each the blood of his brother, will I require the life of Man.

6. Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.

7. And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.

8. And God spoke to 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 soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark--every animal of the earth.

11. And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no flood to destroy the earth.

12. And God said, This is the sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:

13. I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14. And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds 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 soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
