The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:8-17
The new Noachic covenant established. I. It is a COVENANT OF LIFE . It embraces all the posterity of Noah, i.e. it is— 1. The new foundation on which humanity rests. 2. It passes through man to all flesh, to all living creatures. 3. The sign of it, the rainbow in the cloud, is also the emblem of the salvation which may be said to be typified in the deliverance of Noah and his family. 4. The background is the same element wherewith the world was destroyed,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:9
And I, behold, I establish —literally, am causing to rise up or stand ; α ̓ νι ì στημι ( LXX .)— my covenant (cf. Genesis 6:18 ) with you, and with your seed after you.

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:10
And with every living creature —literally, every soul (or breathing thing) that liveth, a generic designation of which the particulars are now specified— that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth —literally, in fowl, &c.; i.e. belonging to these classes of animals (cf.

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:11
And I will establish my covenant with you . Not form it for the first time, as if no such covenant had existed in antediluvian times (Knobel); but cause it to stand or permanently establish it, so that it shall no more be-in danger of being overthrown, as it recently has been. The word "my" points to a covenant already in existence, though not formally mentioned until the time of Noah ( Genesis 6:18 ). The promise of the woman's seed, which formed the substance of the covenant during the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:12
And God said, This is the token — אוֹת ( vide Genesis 1:14 ; Genesis 4:15 )— of the covenant which I make —literally, am giving (cf. Genesis 17:2 )— between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations . Le'doroth ( vide Genesis 6:9 ); 'olam (from 'alam , to hide, to conceal), pr. that which is hidden ; hence, specially, time of which either the beginning or the end is uncertain or undefined, the duration being usually... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:13
I do set . Literally, I have given, or placed, an indication that the atmospheric phenomenon referred to had already frequently appeared (Syriac, Arabic, Aben Ezra, Chrysostom, Calvin, Willet, Murphy, Wordsworth, Kalisch, Lange). The contrary opinion has been maintained that it now for the first time appeared (Bush, Keil, Delitzsch), or at least that the historian thought so (Knobel); but unless there had been no rain, or the laws of light and the atmospheric conditions of the earth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:13
The bow in the cloud, with deep joy and yet with awe must Noah have looked around him on leaving the ark. On every side signs of the mighty destruction; the earth scarcely dried, and the busy throng of men ( Luke 17:27 ) all gone. Yet signs of new life; the earth putting forth verdure, as though preparing for a new and happier chapter of history. His first recorded act was sacrifice—an acknowledgment that his preserved life was God's gift, a new profession of faith in him. Then God gave... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 9:14
And it shall come to pan, when I bring a cloud over the earth. Literally, in my clouding a cloud, i.e. gathering clouds, which naturally signify store of rain ( 1 Kings 18:44 , 1 Kings 18:45 ). Clouds are often used to denote afflictions and dangers (cf. Ezekiel 30:3 , Ezekiel 30:18 ; Ezekiel 32:7 ; Ezekiel 34:12 ; Joel 2:2 ). That the bow shall be seen in the cloud . Literally, and the bow is seen, which it always is when the sun's rays fall upon it, if the spectator's... read more
