Commentaries:
Scofield
and said unto them
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.
