1And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
“So God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”
“and God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”
“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”
“and God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them be fruitful and multiply and replenish or fill the earth.”
“God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”
2The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.
“And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moves upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.”
“and the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea into your hand are they delivered.”
“And the fear of you, and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea. 5. Into your hand are they delivered.”
“the fear of you and the terror of you shall be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky, with everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.”
“the fear of you and the terror of you shall be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky, with everything that creeps on the ground and all of the fish of the sea into your hand they are given.”
“The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground. And all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are delivered.”
3Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.
“Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you, even as the green herb have I given you all things.”
“Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you. I give all to you as I gave the green plant.”
“every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you, even as the green herb have I given you all things.”
“every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you. I give all to you as I gave the green plant.”
“Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you, even as the green herb have I given you all things.”
“every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you. I give all to you as i gave the green plant”
4But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
“only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.”
“but you shall not eat flesh with its life that is its blood.”
“But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.”
“only you shall not eat flesh with its life that is its blood”
“but flesh with the life thereof which is the blood thereof shall ye not eat.”
“But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat?”
5And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
“surely I will require your lifeblood from every beast I will require it, and from every man. From every man's brother I will require the life of man.”
“And surely your blood of your lives will I require. At the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.”
“And surely your blood of your lives will I require, at the hand of every beast will I require it, at the hand of man. At the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.”
“And he says, surely your blood, your lives, will I require. At the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.”
“surely for your life blood, I will demand a reckoning. From the hand of every beast, I will require it. And from the hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of the man.”
“and surely your blood the blood of your lives will I require. At the hand of every beast will I require it and at the hand of man even at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.”
6Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
“Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed. For in the image of God he made man.”
“whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.”
“"'Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man.'".”
“Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God made he man.”
“Whoever sheds man's blood by man, his blood shall be shed for in the image of God, he made man.”
“Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man.”
7But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it."
“As for you, be fruitful and multiply, populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
“and you, be ye fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply therein.”
“as for you be fruitful and multiply populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
“And you be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply therein.”
“And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.”
“And you be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply therein.”

“and God spake unto Noah and to his sons with him, saying,”
“Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him saying,”

“now behold, I myself do establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you.”
“and I behold I will establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you.”
10and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.
“and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.”
“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.”

“And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, of every beast of the earth with you, from all that go out of the ark to every beast of the earth,”
11And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
“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 flood to destroy the earth.”
“I establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
“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 flood to destroy the earth.”
“thus I establish my covenant with you, never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood. Never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
“Thus I establish my covenant with you. Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood. Never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
“and I will establish my covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

13I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

“And it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,”
