Genesis 9:26-29 NIV

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 Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:20-29

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 9:26

And he said —not "Blessed of Jehovah, my God, be Shem" (Jamieson), as might have been anticipated (this, equally with the omission of Ham's name, lifts the entire patriarchal utterance out of the region of mere personal feeling), but— Blessed — בָּרוּךְ when applied to God signifies an ascription of praise (cf. Psalms 144:15 ; Ephesians 1:3 ); when applied to man, an invocation of good (cf. Genesis 14:19 , Genesis 14:20 ; Psalms 128:1 ; Hebrews 7:6 )— be the Lord God ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:27

God . Elohim . If Genesis 9:18-27 are Jehovistic (Tuch, Bleek, Colenso, et alii ) , why Elohim? Is this a proof that the Jehovistic document was revised by the Elohistic author, as the presence of Jehovah in any so-called Elohistic section is regarded as an interpolation by the supplementer? To obviate this inference Davidson assigns Genesis 9:20-27 to his redactor. But the change of name is sufficiently explained when we remember that "Jehovah, as such, never was the God of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:28-29

And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years . I .e. to the fifty-eighth year of the life of Abram, and was thus in all probability a witness of the building of the tower of Babel, and of the consequent dispersion of mankind. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died . Tuch, Bleek, and Colenso connect these verses with Genesis 9:17 , as the proper continuation of the Elohist's work.

- 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 9:26

Genesis 9:26. Blessed be the Lord God of Shem Abraham and all his posterity were included in the descendants of Shem, as appears from the next chapter. Our Lord Jesus Christ, therefore, in whom all the nations of the earth are to be blessed, sprang from him. Well, therefore, might Jehovah be called the Lord God of Shem. Most of the worshippers of the true God, before the coming of the Messiah, were of his seed, and afterward the descendants of Shem were the chief instruments of... read more

Genesis 9:27. God shall enlarge Japheth Most of the inhabitants of Europe, termed in the next chapter, the isles of the Gentiles, and those of the northern parts of Asia, were descended from Japheth; and if, as is generally supposed, America was peopled from the north-east of Asia, the original inhabitants of that country also were his offspring. And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem His seed shall be so numerous, and so victorious, that they shall be masters of the tents of Shem.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 9:28

Genesis 9:28. Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years Which period, as the Jews observe, reaches to the fifty-eighth year of Abraham’s age. So that we need be under no difficulty in accounting for the transmission of the original revelation made to Adam, and of other branches of divine truth, from the beginning of the world to the time of Abraham. Noah received these from his parents, who had the account from Adam’s own mouth, and transmitted it to Abraham. And its... read more
