Genesis 9:18-28

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:20-27

NOAH’S FALLGenesis 9:20-27NOAH in the ark was in a position of present safety but of much anxiety. No sign of any special protection on God’s part was given. The waters seemed to stand at their highest level still; and probably the risk of the ark’s grounding on some impracticable peak, or precipitous hill-side, would seem as great a danger as the water itself. Five months had elapsed, and though the rain had ceased the sky was heavy and threatening, and every day now was worth many measures of... read more

CHAPTER 9 The Earth Replenished 1. The divine commission (Genesis 9:1-7 ) 2. The covenant with Noah (Genesis 9:8-11 ) 3. The token of the covenant (Genesis 9:12-17 ) 4.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:1-29

A NEW BEGINNING FOR MAN The earth itself having been purged by water, furnishing a totally new condition of circumstances for mankind and animals, now God establishes man in a new dispensation of things, blessing Noah and his sons with the promise of fruitfulness and of their multiplying to fill the earth that had been so reduced in the number of its inhabitants. God had told Adam and his wife to "have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:1-19

GOD ’S COVENANT WITH NOAH What did Noah do on leaving the ark (Genesis 8:20 )? How does this verse bear on Genesis 7:2 ? What indicates the acceptance of his offering, and by its acceptance that of himself (Genesis 8:21 )? What divine promise was associated with this acceptance? Of course, this does not mean that no further judgment is to be visited on the earth, as may be seen by 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 ; 2 Peter 3:10-13 , and Revelation 14:22. Where, earlier, have we met the blessing now... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 9:18-29

THE ORIGIN OF THE NATIONS NOAH’S PROPHECY (Genesis 9:18-29 ) To which of the sons of Noah is attention called at the beginning of this section, and why (Genesis 9:18 )? To what occupation did Noah apply himself after the flood (Genesis 9:18 )? Of what sin was he guilty (Genesis 9:21 )? Of what grosser sin was his son guilty (Genesis 9:22 )? What curse did Noah pronounce on the line of Ham (Genesis 9:25 )? Which particular line? Just why Canaan is selected one cannot say. We only know... read more
