Genesis 8:15-17  

    Then God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 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."  (see Genesis 8:15-22)

        by humans shall their blood be shed;

    for in the image of God

        has God made mankind."  (see Genesis 9:4-7)

 

Genesis 9:8-11  

    Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you--the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you--every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." 

 

Genesis 9:12-13

    He also said,

    "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem!

        May Canaan be the slave of Shem.

    May God extend Japheth's territory;

        may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,

    and may Canaan be the slave Japheth."  

    (see Genesis 9:18-29)
