John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:24

Verse 24 24.And Noah awoke. It might seem to some that Noah, although he had just cause of anger, still conducted himself with too little modesty and gravity; and that he ought, at least, silently to have mourned over his sin before God; and also, with shame, to have given proof of his repentance to men: but that now as if he had committed no offense, he fulminates with excessive severity against his son. (297) Moses, however, does not here relate reproaches uttered by Noah, under the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:25

Verse 25 25.Cursed be Canaan (298) It is asked in the first place, why Noah instead of pronouncing the curse upon his son, inflicts the severity of punishment, which that son had deserved, upon his innocent grandson; since it seems not consistent with the justice of God, to visit the crimes of parents upon their children? But the answer is well known; namely that God, although he pursues his course of judgments upon the sons and the grandchildren of the ungodly, yet in being angry with them, is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:18-29

The threefold distribution of the human race —into the Shemitic, Hamitic, and Japhetic families. The fall of Noah was through wine; not, indeed, a forbidden product of the earth, but, like the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, representing a tremendous responsibility . I. THE FERTILITY OF SIN . It was out of drunkenness that the widespread curse of the Hamitic nations came forth. And the drunkenness is closely connected with other sins— What a picture of the... read more

The future unveiled. I. A PAGE FROM HUMAN HISTORY . The prominent figure an old man—always an object of interest, as one who has passed through life's vicissitudes, and worthy of peculiar honor, especially if found walking in the paths of righteousness and peace; an old saint who had long been distinguished for the elevation of his piety, who had long maintained his fidelity to God in the midst of evil times, who had just enjoyed a special deliverance at the hand of God, and who up... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:22

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness . Pudenda, from a root ( עָרָה ) signifying to make naked, from a kindred root to which ( עָרם ) comes the term expressive of the nakedness of Adam and Eve after eating the forbidden fruit ( Genesis 3:7 ). The sin of Ham—not a trifling and unintentional transgression" (Von Bohlen)—obviously lay not in seeing what perhaps he may have come upon unexpectedly, but read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:23

And Shem and Japheth took a garment . Literally, the robe, i.e. which was at hand (Keil, Lange); the simlah, which was an outer cloak ( Deuteronomy 10:18 ; 1 Samuel 21:10 ; Isaiah 3:6 , Isaiah 3:7 ), in which, at night, persons wrapped themselves ( Deuteronomy 22:17 ). Sometimes the letters are transposed, and the word becomes salmah (cf. Exodus 22:8 ; Micah 2:8 ). And laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:24

And Noah awoke from his wine . I .e. the effects of his wine (cf. 1 Samuel 1:14 ; 1 Samuel 25:37 ); ε ̓ ξε ì νηψε ( LXX .); "became fully conscious of his condition" ( T . Lewis). And knew . By inspiration (Alford); more probably by making inquiries as to the reason of the simlah covering him. What his younger son . Literally, his son, the little one, i.e. the youngest son (Willet, Murphy, Wordsworth, T . Lewis, Alford, Candlish), or the younger son (Keil,... read more

And he said . Not in personal resentment, since "the fall of Noah is not at all connected with his prophecy, except as serving to bring out the real character of his children, and to reconcile him to the different destinies which he was to announce as awaiting their respective races" (Candlish); but under the impulse of a prophetic spirit (Poole, Keil, Lange, Candlish, Murphy, and expositors generally), which, however, had its historical occasion in the foregoing incident. The structure of... read more

- XXX. The Prophecy of Noah18. כנען kena‛an, “Kena‘an, bowed down.”19. נפץ nāpats, “break, scatter, spread.” פוּץ pûts, “break, scatter, flow.”20. כרם kerem, “orchard, vineyard.”21. יין yayı̂n, “wine; related: ferment.”After the blessing on the new heads of the human race has been pronounced, and the covenant with them renewed, we are prepared for a new development of human action. This appears, however, in the form of an event which is itself a meet preliminary to the subsequent stage of... read more

Genesis 9:22. And Ham saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren To have seen it accidentally and involuntarily would not have been a crime. But he pleased himself with the sight.
