Reading Genesis 9 for Wednesday, January 11, 2017. God’s first command is to not eat meat with it’s lifeblood still in it, and to hold men and animals accountable for shedding men’s blood, then He formally makes a covenant not to repeat the wiping out all of the Earth’s inhabitants with a flood like He did. Then Noah becomes drunk with wine made from his vineyard’s harvest and subsequently passes out naked in his tent, and curses his youngest son when he finds out he looked at him in that state and blesses his older son’s for respectfully covering his nakedness.
