Genesis 9:29 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 9:28-29

Here see, 1. How God prolonged the life of Noah; he lived 950 years, twenty more than Adam and but nineteen less than Methuselah: this long life was a further reward of his signal piety, and a great blessing to the world, to which no doubt he continued a preacher of righteousness, with this advantage, that now all he preached to were his own children. 2. How God put a period to his life at last. Though he lived long, yet he died, having probably first seen many that descended from him dead... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:29

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years ,.... He lived twenty years more than Adam did, and within nineteen of Methuselah, and his age must be called a good old age; but what is said of all the patriarchs is also said or him: and he died : the Arabic writers say F23 Elmacinus, p. 12. Patricides, p. 11. apud Hottinger. Smegma, p. 254. , when the time of his death drew nigh, he ordered his son Shem by his will to take the body of Adam, and lay it in the middle of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:29

The days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years - The oldest patriarch on record, except Methuselah and Jared. This, according to the common reckoning, was A. M. 2006, but according to Dr. Hales, 3505. "Ham," says Dr. Hales, "signifies burnt or black, and this name was peculiarly significant of the regions allotted to his family. To the Cushites, or children of his eldest son Cush, were allotted the hot southern regions of Asia, along the coasts of the Persian Gulf, Susiana or... read more

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 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 9:28-29

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

Genesis 9:29. All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years Here the clause, and he begat sons and daughters, is omitted, whence we may infer that he had no more than the three sons already mentioned. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:18-29

Noah and his sons (9:18-29)On one occasion Noah brought shame upon himself through becoming drunk. But God’s condemnation was concerned more with Noah’s son Ham, and particularly his grandson Canaan who tried to add to Noah’s disgrace (18-23). God announced a curse on the descendants of Ham who would come through Canaan, though not on Ham’s other descendants. The descendants of Canaan would have their land taken from them by the descendants of Shem (the nation Israel) and they themselves would... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 9:28-29

"And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."Since Abraham was born about 292 years after the Flood, it appears that, for 58 years, Noah was a contemporary of Abraham!Lessons from this narrative are many:Temptation and sin are of the greatest danger immediately following victory. Satan assaults the soul with the most vigorous efforts both at the beginning of life (or a career), and at the end of it.... read more
