|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; 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; into your hand are they delivered.
|
|You shall be an object of fear and dread for every living creature on earth, every bird in the sky, everything that moves on the earth, and all the fish of the sea. They are entrusted to you.

|Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
|
|Every moving and living thing will be food for you. Like the green herb, I give you everything.
|
|This supersedes Genesis 1:29; from now on, man is allowed to eat [[meat]] as well as [[fruit]]s and [[vegetable]]s.

|But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
|
|But you must ''not'' eat any flesh still having [[blood]] in it.
|
|To this day, [[kosher]] meets must be thoroughly bled.

|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, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
|
|And understand this: I will demand an accounting for any bloodletting of human beings. I will demand it of any animal, and of any man, and of any person's brother who kills a human being.

|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.
|
|If anyone sheds a man's blood, then his blood will be shed by man, because God made mankind in His image.
|
|This is a direct affirmation, and indeed prescription, for [[capital punishment]] in cases of [[murder]].

|And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

|And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
|
|He drank some of the [[wine]], and became intoxicated, and he was uncovered inside his tent.
|
|The [[Hebrew]] '''יין''' (''yayin'') means "fruit of the vine." In this specific context, the use of the word '''אכר''' (''shakar''), meaning "intoxicated," clearly indicates that Noah's wine did ferment and become an [[alcoholic drink]]. This story demonstrates the hazard that alcoholic drinks pose.

|And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
|And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
|
|Ham, the father of Canaan, took intimate liberties with his father, and told his two brothers outside.
|
|The Hebrew expression '''ראה הערוה''' (''ra'ah ha-ervah''), or "to see the nakedness," means something considerably more dire and less honorable than merely looking at that which the owner of the body would infinitely prefer to keep private.

|
|Then Shem and Japheth took a cloak, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward, and covered their father's private anatomy. Their faces were backward, so that they did not see that which their father would be ashamed to have exposed.

|And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
|
|And he said, "Canaan will lie under a curse. He will be the lowest sort of slave to his brothers.
|
|The Hebrew expression '''עבד עבדים''' (''ebed ebedim''), "servant of servants," means a very low-ranking slave, not a slave that serves other slaves.
