²¹And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.

²²All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.

Chapter 9

And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth.

²And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.

³And every thing that moveth, and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:

⁴Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.

⁵For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.

⁶Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.

⁷But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth and fill it.

⁸Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him:

⁹Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
