God’s Covenant With Noah

9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.^(A)

⁷ As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”^(A)

¹⁷ Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”^(A)

³² These are the clans of Noah’s sons,^(A) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth^(B) after the flood.
