And Noe made an altar unto the LORD, {LORDE} and took of
all manner of clean beasts and all manner of clean fowls, and
offered sacrifice upon the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet
savour and said in his heart: I will henceforth no more curse the
earth for man's sake, for the imagination of man's heart is evil
even from the very youth of him. Moreover I will not destroy from
henceforth all that liveth as I have done. Neither shall sowing
time and harvest, cold, and heat, summer and winter, day and night
cease, as long as the earth endureth.
Chapter .ix.
And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said unto them: Increase and
multiply and fill the earth. The fear also and dread of yow be
upon all beasts of the earth, and upon all fowls of the air, and
upon all that creepeth on the earth, and upon all fishes of the
sea, which are given unto your hands. And all that moveth upon the
earth having life, shall be your meat: Even as the green herbs, so
give I yow all things. Only the flesh with his life which is his
blood, see that ye eat not. For verily the blood of yow wherein
your lives are will I require: Even of the hand of all beasts will
I require it, and of the hand of man and of the hand of every
man's brother, will I require the life of man: so that he which
sheddeth man's blood, shall have his blood shed by man again: for
God made man after his own likeness.
