Génesis 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 9:1

And God blessed Noah and his sons
With temporal blessings, not spiritual ones; for though some of them were blessed with such, yet not all, particularly Ham:

and said unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the
earth;
depopulated by the flood: this is a renewal of the blessing on Adam, a power and faculty of propagating his species, which was as necessary now as then, since there were so few of the human race left in the world; and the renewal of this grant was the rather necessary, if, as has been observed, Noah and his sons were restrained from cohabiting with their wives while in the ark: but though these words are not an express command for the propagation of their species, yet more than a bare permission, at least they are a direction and instruction to it, and even carry in them a promise of fruitfulness, that they should multiply and increase, which was very needful at this time.

Génesis 9:1 In-Context

1 Y bendijo Dios a Noé y a sus hijos, y les dijo: Sed fecundos y multiplicaos, y llenad la tierra.

2 Y el temor y el terror de vosotros estarán sobre todos los animales de la tierra, y sobre todas las aves del cielo, y en todo lo que se arrastra sobre el suelo, y en todos los peces del mar; en vuestra mano son entregados.

3 Todo lo que se mueve y tiene vida os será para alimento: todo os lo doy como os di la hierba verde.

4 Pero carne con su vida, es decir, con su sangre, no comeréis.

5 Y ciertamente pediré cuenta de la sangre de vuestras vidas; de todo animal la demandaré. Y de todo hombre, del hermano de todo hombre demandaré la vida del hombre.
