F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 9:1-17

God’s Covenant with Noah Genesis 9:1-17 As the human race started afresh on its career, God blessed it, as at the first. God always stands with us in a new start. The prohibition against the use of blood in food is often repeated. See Leviticus 17:11 ; Acts 15:29 . In a very deep sense, the blood is the life. When we speak of being redeemed by the blood of Jesus, we mean that we have been saved by His sacrificed life. The blood maketh atonement for the soul. But while animal life might be... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 9:1-29

The new order in human affairs was initiated by the bestowment of a blessing on Noah and his sons. The first note of change is seen in the word which declared man's relation to the lower orders. In Eden man had governed by love and his own kingliness. With the loss of that kingliness resulting from his disobedience and rebellion, he had lost his true power of dominion, and that must now be exercised by fear and dread directly implanted by God in all the lower orders of life over which man was... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 9:1-17

The Earth Renewed and Blessed Genesis 9:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Let us give you some of the parallelisms which are found between Noachic times and events, and those which will mark the last days. Some of these will be a resume of preceding studies in Genesis. 1. Parallelisms relative to the heavens and the earth. In the first chapter of Genesis we have the earth renewed and blessed. God had created the earth in a wonderful state of perfectness, however, under His curse it had become waste... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:1-7

God’s Detailed Instruction to Noah and His Sons (Genesis 9:1-7 ) In this whole passage God is Elohim, the Creator, for He is as it were beginning again, and reinstating man as His representatives on earth. Here God includes Noah’s sons in His instructions. This is different from Genesis 8:21 and previously, demonstrating that this is His official dealings with the whole of mankind. So God gives instructions to Noah, and to ‘his sons with him’. These instructions are important. The destruction... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:1-29

“The Histories of the Sons of Noah” - The Flood (Genesis 6:9 b - Genesis 10:1 a) - TABLET IV It has been common practise among a large number of scholars to seek to split the flood narrative into different so-called ‘documents’. This has partly resulted from not comparing them closely enough with ancient writings as a whole and partly from over-enthusiasm for a theory. There is little real justification for it. Repetitiveness was endemic among ancient writings, and is therefore not a hint of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:1-17

Genesis 9:1-Esther : . From P. The links between Genesis 9:1-Judges : and P’ s creation story are very close; the command to multiply, the dominion of man over the animals, the regulations as to food may be specially mentioned, as well as identities and similarities of phrase and style. A change, however, is made in recognition of the innate qualities of creation which have come to light in the interval. It had not been God’ s original intention that food should be obtained by slaughter;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 9:6

Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, wilfully and unwarrantably. For there is a double exception to this law: 1. Of casual murder, expressed Numbers 35:31; Deuteronomy 19:4. 2. Of death inflicted by the hand of the magistrate for crimes deserving it, mentioned in the following words, and elsewhere. By man, i.e. by the hand of man, namely, the magistrate, Romans 13:4; who is hereby empowered and required, upon pain of my highest displeasure, to inflict this punishment. See Exodus 21:12; Leviticus 24:17;... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 9:1. God] Heb. Elohim. Blessed] Similar to the blessing pronounced upon Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:28.—Genesis 9:2. The fear of you, and the dread of you] The fear of you, as existing in the inferior animals. “Dread” imparts a greater intensity of meaning into the word—the fear which paralyses. It may be that even in Paradise the lower animals had a wholesome fear of man, by means of which they could be kept in subjection. Now they are to be ruled by force and... read more

DISCOURSE: 18CONFUSION OF TONGUESGenesis 9:4-8. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do.... read more
