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:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠זָכַרְתִּ֣י אֶת בְּרִיתִ֗⁠י

and,remember DOM covenant,my

See how you translated remember in Gen 8:1. It may need to be translated differently in different contexts. Alternate translation: “then I will remember and keep my covenant” or “then I will not forget to keep my treaty”

אֲשֶׁ֤ר בֵּינִ⁠י֙ וּ⁠בֵ֣ינֵי⁠כֶ֔ם

which/who between,me and,between,you_all

Alternate translation: “that I have made between me and you” or “that I have made with you”

וּ⁠בֵ֛ין כָּל נֶ֥פֶשׁ חַיָּ֖ה בְּ⁠כָל בָּשָׂ֑ר

and=between all/each/any/every creature living in=all flesh/meat

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “and all living creatures of every kind,” or “and all the animals, including all the different kinds,” or (2) “and all other living creatures, including all people and animals,”

וְ⁠לֹֽא יִֽהְיֶ֨ה ע֤וֹד הַ⁠מַּ֨יִם֙ לְ⁠מַבּ֔וּל לְ⁠שַׁחֵ֖ת

and=not will_belong again/more the=waters of,flood to,destroy

Make sure it is clear in your translation that this last clause in verse 15 is what God promised in his covenant. Also, consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “that never again will there be a flood that destroys” or “I vow that never again will I use a flood to destroy”

כָּל־בָּשָֽׂר

all/each/any/every all/each/any/every flesh/meat

Alternate translation: “all life.” or “all people and animals.”
