The Noahic Covenant. The elements are:

(1) The relation of man to the earth under the Adamic Covenant is confirmed (See Scofield “Genesis 8:21”)

(2) The order of nature is confirmed (Genesis 8:22)

(3) Human government is established (Genesis 9:1-6)

(4) Earth is secured against another universal judgment by water Genesis 8:21; 9:11

(5) A prophetic declaration is made that from Ham will descend an inferior and servile posterity Genesis 9:24,25.

(6) A prophetic declaration is made that Shem will have a peculiar relation to Jehovah Genesis 9:26,27. All divine revelation is through Semitic men, and Christ, after the flesh, descends from Shem.

(7) A prophetic declaration is made that from Japheth will descend the “enlarged” races Genesis 9:27. Government, science, and art, speaking broadly, are and have been Japhetic, so that history is the indisputable record of the exact fulfilment of these declarations.

2 And the Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine of you and the Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine.

6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine made he man.

21 And the LORD smelled a Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

22 While the earth remaineth, Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine, and cold and heat, and Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine, and day and night shall not cease.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Canaandreadfearflesh with the lifefruitfulimage of Godimagination of man’s heartinto your handlife of manmeatmultiplyreplenishseedtime and harvestShemsummer and wintersweet savourwine; and Canaan shall be his servant.
