創世記 9:9-17 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:17

And God said to Noah, this is the token of the covenant ,.... Which is repeated for the greater confirmation and certainty of it, since the fears of men would be apt to run very high, especially while the flood was fresh in memory: which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth : see Genesis 9:9 , it is highly probable, that from the rainbow being the token of the covenant between God and Noah, and the creatures, sprung the fable of the Chinese concerning... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:13

I do set my bow in the cloud - On the origin and nature of the rainbow there had been a great variety of conjectures, till Anthony de Dominis, bishop of Spalatro, in a treatise of his published by Bartholus in 1611, partly suggested the true cause of this phenomenon, which was afterwards fully explained and demonstrated by Sir Isaac Newton. To enter into this subject here in detail would be improper; and therefore the less informed reader must have recourse to treatises on Optics for its... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:17

This is the token - אות oth , The Divine sign or portent: The bow shall be in the cloud. For the reasons above specified it must be there, when the circumstances already mentioned occur; if therefore it cannot fail because of the reasons before assigned, no more shall my promise; and the bow shall be the proof of its perpetuity. Both the Greeks and Latins, as well as the Hebrews, have ever considered the rainbow as a Divine token or portent; and both of these nations have even deified... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:10

Verse 10 10.And with every living creature. Although the favor which the Lord promises extends also to animals, yet it is not in vain that he addresses himself only to men, who, by the sense of faith, are able to perceive this benefit. We enjoy the heaven and the air in common with the beasts, and draw the same vital breath; but it is no common privilege, that God directs his word to us; whence we may learn with what paternal love he pursues us. And here three distinct steps are to be traced.... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:12

Verse 12 12.This is the token of the covenant. A sign is added to the promise, in which is exhibited the wonderful kindness of God; who, for the purpose of confirming our faith in his word, does not disdain to use such helps. And although we have more fully discussed the use of signs in Genesis 2:1, yet we must briefly maintain, from these words of Moses, that it is wrong to sever signs from the word. By the word, I mean not that of which Papists boast; whereby they enchant bread, wine, water,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:13

Verse 13 13.I do set my bow in the cloud. From these words certain eminent theologians have been induced to deny, that there was any rainbow before the deluge: which is frivolous. For the words of Moses do not signify, that a bow was then formed which did not previously exist; but that a mark was engraven upon it, which should give a sign of the divine favor towards men. That this may the more evidently appear, it will be well to recall to memory what we have elsewhere said, that some signs are... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:15

Verse 15 15.And I will remember my covenant. Moses, by introducing God so often as the speaker, teaches us that the word holds the chief place, and that signs are to be estimated by it. (294) God, however, speaks after the manner of men, when he says, that at the sight of the rainbow he will remember his covenant. But this mode of speaking has reference to the faith of men, in order that they may reflect, that God, whenever he stretches out his arch over the clouds, is not unmindful of his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:8-17

The new Noachic covenant established. I. It is a COVENANT OF LIFE . It embraces all the posterity of Noah, i.e. it is— 1. The new foundation on which humanity rests. 2. It passes through man to all flesh, to all living creatures. 3. The sign of it, the rainbow in the cloud, is also the emblem of the salvation which may be said to be typified in the deliverance of Noah and his family. 4. The background is the same element wherewith the world was destroyed,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:9

And I, behold, I establish —literally, am causing to rise up or stand ; α ̓ νι ì στημι ( LXX .)— my covenant (cf. Genesis 6:18 ) with you, and with your seed after you. I .e. the covenant contemplated all subsequent posterity in its provisions, and, along with the human family, the entire animal creation. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:10

And with every living creature —literally, every soul (or breathing thing) that liveth, a generic designation of which the particulars are now specified— that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth —literally, in fowl, &c.; i.e. belonging to these classes of animals (cf. Genesis 1:25 , Genesis 1:30 ; Genesis 6:20 ; Genesis 8:17 ) with you; from all that go out of the ark ,—not necessarily implying ('Speaker's Commentary,' Murphy),... read more
