Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:1-29

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.

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.

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.

Genesis 9:8-11I establish My covenant with youGod’s covenant with NoahI.The covenant God made with Noah was intended to remedy every one of the temptations into which Noah’s children’s children would have been certain to fall, and into which so many of them did fall. They might have become reckless from fear of a flood at any moment. God promises them, and confirms it with the sign of the rainbow, never again to destroy the earth by water. They would have been likely to take to praying to the... 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
