9:8-17 God’s second post-flood speech conveys his promise and plan for preserving creation.
God’s Covenant with Noah
The first explicit reference to a covenant in Scripture occurs immediately after the Flood (Gen 9:1-17).
The corruption and violence of the human race had provoked God’s anger (6:11-13), but his gracious favor remained with Noah (6:8). When God charged Noah to build an ark to escape the impending deluge (6:13-17), he also promised to establish a covenant with him (6:18). God took the initiative to bind himself again to human beings and to the whole creation despite human faithlessness (see 6:1-7). Through this covenant, God guaranteed that he would maintain a relationship with this one family even as other divine-human relationships were being severed. God’s covenant promise to Noah came with his command to build an ark (6:14); Noah’s receipt of the covenant blessing depended on his obedience to this divine command (6:22; 7:5).
When Noah made an offering to God after the Flood (8:20-22), God elaborated on his covenant with Noah, indicating that it was a universal covenant with humans and with all living creatures (9:8-10). God promised never to send such a flood again as judgment on the world.
This covenant helps us understand God as a covenant maker. Although human beings deserve punishment because of their wickedness, God withholds ultimate destruction. God’s covenant with Noah did not establish an intimate relationship between God and each living being, but it recalibrated moral and ecological life to be as God intended it (9:1-7), leaving open the possibility of a more intimate covenant to come (see 17:1-21). Despite their evil, human beings are allowed to live in God’s world and seek a deeper relationship with the world’s Creator during their time on earth. God’s later covenants with his people made intimacy with him freely available to all (see Acts 2:22-40; 3:17-26).
