Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 9:1 In-Context

1 Deus abençoou Noé e seus filhos, dizendo-lhes: “Sejam férteis, multipliquem-se e encham a terra.

2 Todos os animais da terra tremerão de medo diante de vocês: os animais selvagens, as aves do céu, as criaturas que se movem rente ao chão e os peixes do mar; eles estão entregues em suas mãos.

3 Tudo o que vive e se move servirá de alimento para vocês. Assim como dei a vocês os vegetais, agora dou todas as coisas.

4 “Mas não comam carne com sangue, que é vida.

5 A todo aquele que derramar sangue, tanto homem como animal, pedirei contas; a cada um pedirei contas da vida do seu próximo.
