7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and inultiply therein. 8 And God spake unto 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 creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a m flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, This is the token: n of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

The generations of Noah. 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted ta vineyard:

21 And he drank of the wine, u and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, wand told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, und went backward, z and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness."

34 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, y Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be 2 his servant.

27 God shall 3 enlarge Japheth, z and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Abram deceiveth Pharaoh. milies of the earth be blessed. e 4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 And Abrain took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; fand into the land of Canaan they

came.

6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, g unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite h was then in the land. 7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: k and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, mand pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and 1 Hai on the cast; and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called In upon the name of the LORD.

9 And Abram journeyed, 2 going on still toward the south.

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the fa mine was grievous in the land.

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Be hold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my o sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh; pand the woman was q taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
