Faith hero: Noah and his story:
Genesis 9:
"God Confirms His Covenant
Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, “Be fruitful and
multiply. Fill the earth. All the animals of the earth, all the birds
of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all
the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed
them in your power. I have given them to you for food, just as I have
given you grain and vegetables. But you must never eat any meat that
still has the lifeblood in it.
“And I will require the blood of
anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a
person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.
If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by
human hands. For God made human beings in his own image. Now be
fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth.”
Then God told
Noah and his sons, “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your
descendants, and with all the animals that were on the boat with
you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals—every living
creature on earth. Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never
again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a
flood destroy the earth.”
Then God said, “I am giving you a
sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all
generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is
the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. When I send
clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I
will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never
again will the floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow
in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and
every living creature on earth.” Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this
rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the
creatures on earth.”
Noah’s Sons
The sons of Noah who
came out of the boat with their father were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham
is the father of Canaan.) From these three sons of Noah came all the
people who now populate the earth.
After the flood, Noah
began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard. One day he
drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside
his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked
and went outside and told his brothers. Then Shem and Japheth took a
robe, held it over their shoulders, and backed into the tent to cover
their father. As they did this, they looked the other way so they would
not see him naked.
When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done. Then he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham:
“May Canaan be cursed!
May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.”
Then Noah said,
“May the Lord, the God of Shem, be blessed,
and may Canaan be his servant!
May God expand the territory of Japheth!
May Japheth share the prosperity of Shem,
and may Canaan be his servant.”
Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood. He lived 950 years, and then he died."
