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 Dios bendijo a Noé y a sus hijos con estas palabras: «Sean fecundos, multiplíquense y llenen la tierra.

2 Todos los animales de la tierra sentirán temor y miedo ante ustedes: las aves, las bestias salvajes, los animales que se arrastran por el suelo, y los peces del mar. Todos estarán bajo su dominio.

3 Todo lo que se mueve y tiene vida, al igual que las verduras, les servirá de alimento. Yo les doy todo esto.

4 Pero no deberán comer carne con sangre; la sangre es vida.

5 Por cierto, de la sangre de ustedes yo habré de pedirles cuentas. A todos los animales y a todos los seres humanos les pediré cuentas de la vida de sus semejantes.
