Bereshis 9:14-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. And it shall come to pass, when I bring an anan over ha'aretz, that the keshet be'anan (rainbow) shall be seen;

15. And I will remember My brit, which is between Me and you and kol nefesh chayyah of kol basar; and the waters shall no more become a mabbul (flood) l'shachat (to destroy) kol basar.

16. And the keshet shall be in the anan; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the brit olam between Elohim and kol nefesh chayyah of kol basar that is upon ha'aretz.

17. And Elohim said unto Noach, This is the ot habrit, which I have established between Me and kol basar that is upon ha'aretz.

18. And the bnei Noach, that went forth of the tevah, were Shem, and Cham, and Yephet; and Cham is the av of Kena'an (Canaan).

19. Shloshah (Three) are the bnei Noach; and of them was the kol ha'aretz populated.

20. And Noach began to be an ish ha'adamah (a man of the soil), and he planted a kerem (vineyard);

21. And he drank of the yayin, and became shikker (intoxicated); and he lay uncovered inside his ohel.

22. And Cham, the av of Kena'an, saw the erom (nakedness) of his av, and told his two achim on the outside.

23. And Shem and Yephet took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward, and covered the erom of their av; and their faces were turned the other way, and they saw not the erom of their av.
