Genesis 10:1The MessageThis is the family tree of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. After the flood, they themselves had sons. See the chapter |
God blessed Noah and his sons: He said, “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the Earth! Every living creature—birds, animals, fish—will fall under your spell and be afraid of you. You’re responsible for them. All living creatures are yours for food; just as I gave you the plants, now I give you everything else. Except for meat with its lifeblood still in it—don’t eat that.
