Chapter 9And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the eaRuth ( Genesis 9:1 ).And so the commandment that was given to Adam at the beginning is now given to Noah because we're starting all over again with the race of men.

And so now we're starting over again to fill the earth, multiple, fill the earth.Now the commandment is to fill the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 9:1-29

Genesis 9:4. But the blood ye shall not eat. This prohibition of blood is repeated. Leviticus 17:0. Deuteronomy 12:0. And being connected with murder in the following verse, we are taught to abstain from imitating the ferocity of wild beasts, which lick the blood of their prey. Blood is also the life of the sacrifices offered up for sin; and our having been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, the apostles have forbidden the use of blood to christians. Acts 15:29. A third reason... read more

Genesis 9:6Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.Death for murder a Divine decreeI. First, I ASSERT THAT THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH FOR MURDER IS A DIVINE DECREE. As some persons are opposed to the execution of any murderer, it is well to examine both the objections they urge and the command by which this law is asserted. Death for murder is recognized from the beginning of the world. It seems to be written on the conscience of man by God that such a doom rightly awaits a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 9:6

Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Ver. 6. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood.] Some are of the opinion, that before the flood, the punishment of murder and other capital crimes, was only excommunication and exclusion from the Church and their father’s family. And that now first, God made murder to be a matter of death. The firstborn had power, at first, over their own families, to bless, curse, cast out, disinherit, yea, and punish... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 9:6

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.Whoso sheddeth man's blood — Whether upon a sudden provocation, or premeditated, (for rash anger is heart-murder as well as malice prepense, Matthew 5:21,22), by man shall his blood be shed - That is, by the magistrate, or whoever is appointed to be the avenger of blood. Before the flood, as it should seem by the story of Cain, God took the punishment of murder into his own hands; but now he... read more

Generations of Noah, Genesis 6:9 to Genesis 9:29. Note here, again, how the history doubles back upon itself.

6. Whoso sheddeth The command is here repeated and enforced more explicitly . The beast that endangered human life should be slain, (Genesis 9:5;) so it shall be man’s duty to take the life of the murderer, for murder is a crime against the divine majesty, which is imaged in man . These words are the divinely granted charter of civil government . The means by which this precept is to be carried out in the details of human government are left to human wisdom and experience, but man is here... read more
