Genesis 9:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

The Covenant with Noah

9 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. ² The fear and dread of you shall rest on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the air, on everything that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. ³ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.
