1. And Elohim blessed Noaḥ and his sons, and said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth.
2. “And the fear of you and the dread of you is on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea – into your hand they have been given.
3. “Every moving creature that lives is food for you. I have given you all, as I gave the green plants.
4. “But do not eat flesh with its life, its blood.
5. “But only your blood for your lives I require, from the hand of every beast I require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I require the life of man.
6. “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood is shed, for in the image of Elohim has He made man.
7. “As for you, bear fruit and increase, bring forth teemingly in the earth and increase in it.”
8. And Elohim spoke to Noaḥ and to his sons with him, saying,
9. “And I, see, I establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you,
10. and with every living creature that is with you: of the birds, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.
11. “And I shall establish My covenant with you, and never again is all flesh cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again is there a flood to destroy the earth.”
