Genesis 9

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:27

Verse 27 27.God shall enlarge Japheth. In the Hebrew words יפת (japhte) and יפת (japheth,) there is an elegant allusion. For the root of the word is פתה (pathah,) which, among the Hebrews, signifies to entice with smooth words, or to allure in one direction or another. Here, however, nearly all commentators take it as signifying to enlarge. (301) If this exposition be received, the meaning will be, that the posterity of Japheth, which for a time would be scattered, and removed far from the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:28

Verse 28 28.And Noah lived. Although Moses briefly states the age of the holy man, and does not record his annals and the memorable events of his life, yet those things which are certain, and which Scripture elsewhere commemorates, ought to recur to our minds. Within one hundred and fifty years, the offspring of his three sons became so numerous, that he had sufficient and even abundant proof of the efficacy of the Divine benediction Increase and multiply. He sees, not one city only, filled... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:1

And God — Elohim , not because belonging to the Elohistic document (Block, Tuch, Colcnso); but rather because throughout this section the Deity is exhibited in his relations to his creatures— blessed —a repetition of the primal blessing rendered necessary by the devastation of the Flood (cf. Genesis 1:28 )— Noah and his sons ,—as the new heads of the race,— and said unto them ,—audibly, in contrast to Genesis 8:21 , Genesis 8:22 , which was not addressed to the patriarch,... read more

New arrangements for a new era. I. PROVISION FOR THE INCREASE OF THE HUMAN FAMILY . 1. The procreate instrumentality— the ordinance of marriage ( Genesis 9:1 , Genesis 9:7 ), which was - 2. The originating cause—the Divine blessing ( Genesis 9:1 , Genesis 9:7 ), without which— II. PROVISION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE HUMAN FAMILY . 1. Against the world of animals . 2.

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:1-7

The new life of man on the earth under a new revelation of the Divine favor. The chief points are— I. UNLIMITED POSSESSION OF THE EARTH , and use of its inhabitants and products, whether for food or otherwise; thus supplying— 1. The scope of life. 2. The enjoy-meat of life. 3. The development of life. II. Absolute RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE , and preservation of the gentler feelings (the blood being forbidden as injurious to man in this case), promoting— 1. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:2

And the fear of you and the dread of you . Not simply of Noah and his sons, but of man in general. Shall be . Not for the first time, as it could not fail to be evoked by the sin of man during the previous generations, but, having already been developed, it was henceforth to be turned back upon the creature rather than directed against man. Upon . The verb to be is first construed with עַל , and afterwards with בְּ . The LXX . render both by ε ̓ πι Ì , though perhaps... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:3

Every —obviously admitting of "exceptions to be gathered both from the nature of the case and from the distinction of clean and unclean beasts mentioned before and afterwards" (Poole)— moving thing that liveth —clearly excluding such as had died of themselves or been slain by other beasts (cf. Exodus 22:31 ; Le Exodus 22:8 )— shall be meat for you . Literally, to you it shall be for meat . Though the distinction between unclean and clean animals as to food, afterwards laid clown in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:4

But — אַךְ , an adverb of limitation or exception, as in Le Genesis 11:4 , introducing a restriction on the foregoing precept— flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof . Literally, with its soul, its blood ; the blood being regarded as the seat of the soul, or life principle (Le Genesis 17:11 ), and even as the soul itself (Le Genesis 17:14 ). The idea of the unity of the soul and the blood, on which the prohibition of blood is based, comes to light everywhere... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:5

And surely . Again the conjunction אַךְ introduces a restriction. The blood of beasts might without fear be shed for necessary uses, but the blood of man was holy and inviolable. Following the LXX . ( και Ì γα Ì ρ ), Jerome, Pererius, Mercerus, Calvin, Poole, Willet give a causal sense to the conjunction, as if it supplied the reason of' the foregoing restriction—a sense which, according to Furst ('Hebrews Lex.,' sub nom .) it sometimes, though rarely, has; as in 2 Kings... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:6

Whoso sheddeth . Literally, he shedding, i.e. willfully and unwarrantably; and not simply accidentally, for which kind of manslaughter the law afterwards provided ( vide Numbers 35:11 ); or judicially, for that is commanded by the present statute. Man's blood . Literally, blood of the man, human blood. By man . Not openly and directly by God, but by man himself, acting of course as God's instrument and agent—an instruction which involved the setting up of the magisterial... read more
