TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

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).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠אֲנִ֕י הִנְנִ֥⁠י

and,me behold,I

See how you translated behold in Gen 1:29, 4:14, 6:13, 17. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “Now listen carefully to me: I”

מֵקִ֛ים

establishing

See how you translated “establish my covenant with” in Gen 6:18, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “am instituting” or “am setting up”

אֶת בְּרִיתִ֖⁠י אִתְּ⁠כֶ֑ם וְ⁠אֶֽת זַרְעֲ⁠כֶ֖ם אַֽחֲרֵי⁠כֶֽם

DOM covenant,my with,you_all and,with descendants,your_all's after,you_all

Notice that the pronouns you and your are plural throughout verses 2-15, since God is speaking to Noah and his sons. Alternate translation: “my special agreement with you and your descendants who come after you,” or “my covenant between me and you and your offspring”
