創世記 9:3-4 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:4

But — אַךְ , an adverb of limitation or exception, as in Le Genesis 11:4 , introducing a restriction on the foregoing precept— flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof . Literally, with its soul, its blood ; the blood being regarded as the seat of the soul, or life principle (Le Genesis 17:11 ), and even as the soul itself (Le Genesis 17:14 ). The idea of the unity of the soul and the blood, on which the prohibition of blood is based, comes to light everywhere... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Genesis 9:1-7

- The Blessing of Noah2. מורא môrā', “fear, reverence, awful deed.” חת chat, “dread, breaking of the courage.”Noah is saved from the deluge. His life is twice given to him by God. He had found grace in the sight of the Lord, and now he and his family have been graciously accepted when they approached the Lord with burnt-offerings. In him, therefore, the race of man is to be begun anew. Accordingly, as at the beginning, the Lord proceeds to bless him. First. The grant of increase is the same... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 9:3

Genesis 9:3. Every moving thing Which is wholesome and fit for food, shall be meat for you: That liveth This may be added to exclude the use of those creatures which died of themselves, or were killed by wild beasts. These, which were afterward expressly forbidden to be eaten, (see Exodus 22:31, Leviticus 22:8,) may here be forbidden implicitly. Hitherto man had been confined to feed only upon the products of the earth, fruits, herbs, and roots, and all sorts of corn and milk; such... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 9:4

Genesis 9:4. But flesh with the blood thereof shall ye not eat One meaning of this may be, Ye shall not cut off, tear away, or take any member or part of any creature for your food, while it is yet alive; but ye shall first spill its blood, and thereby put it to death in the way most easy to it. This is the sense which the Jews give the words, and, thus understood, they contain a prohibition of all cruelty toward those animals which are killed for food. And the prohibition, in this point of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:1-7

A new beginning (8:20-9:7)On returning to the earth now cleansed from sin, Noah first offered sacrifices to God. God’s promise not to destroy the earth by a flood again was not because he expected people to improve. He knew they would be as sinful as ever. If God always dealt with people as they deserved, such floods would occur constantly. But in his mercy God would allow sinful people to continue to live on his earth (20-22).With this new beginning, God gave Noah the same sorts of commands as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 9:1-3

"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered. Every living thing that moveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all."Here is the repetition of exactly the same commission that was given to Adam... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 9:4

"But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat."We cannot agree with Skinner that the reason for this prohibition was "purely ceremonial,"[5] although, of course, it could have been anticipative of the elaborate blood sacrifices to be instituted later in the Law of Moses. Some of the other reasons that might have lain back of this law are:(1) to prevent cruelty to animals, such as eating of flesh from a living creature,(2) to remind men of God's providence in... read more
