Genesis Chapter 9 Bible Study
God gave Noah a blessing and told him: “Continue making the earth with your children. All animals, birds and even fish will be scared of you and be kept under your power. You will eat the animals and green plants. The only thing that you must not eat is meat with blood still in it. If anyone takes the life of a human, he will be punished. I will take away animals that hurt human life. All humans were created by God. Your children’s children will live all over the earth.” God told Noah and his sons, “I will now make a promise with you, your children and all living beings who came off the boat. Never again will there be another flood to wipe away the earth. As a sign of this promise, I am making my bow in the clouds to share with the world. Whenever the sky is covered, the rainbow will come out to help me remember my promise. The rainbow will remind Me of My everlasting promise that I have made to the world. That is my promise to all living beings on the earth.”
Noah’s three sons were ancestors of all people on the earth. The first person who became a farmer and planted a vineyard was Noah. Noah drank a lot of wine and became naked after that. When Ham saw that Noah had no clothes on, he told his two brothers. Shem and Japheth put a robe around Noah so he won’t be naked. When Noah woke up and learned what Japheth had done to Noah, he put a curse on Canaan, son of Ham, praised God for Shem and caused Japheth to increase in number. Shem’s children will live on. Noah lived another 350 years and passed away at the age of 950.
