The Oath to Respect the Boundaries

14 And thus the sons of Noah divided to their sons⁠a in the presence of Noah their father, and he bound them all by an oath,⁠b calling down a curse on everyone that sought to seize the portion which had not fallen (to him) by his lot.⁠c 15 And they all said, 'So be it; so be it ' for themselves and their sons forever throughout their generations until the day of judgment, on which the Lord God shall judge them with a sword and with fire for all the unclean wickedness of their errors, with which they have filled the earth with transgression and impurity and sexual immorality and sin.
