Commentary on Genesis 9:8

• John Calvin (Reformed), Calvin's Commentaries on Genesis 9:8: 8. And God spake unto Noah . That the memory of the deluge might not inspire them with new terrors, as often as the sky were covered with clouds, lest the earth should again be drowned; this source of anxiety is taken away. And certainly, if we consider the great propensity of the human mind to distrust, we shall not deem this testimony to have been unnecessary even for Noah.
• Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Genesis 9:8-11: Here is, I. The general establishment of God's covenant with this new world, and the extent of that covenant, Gen 9:9, Gen 9:10. Here observe, 1. That God is graciously pleased to deal with man in the way of a covenant, wherein God greatly magnifies his condescending favour, and greatly encourages man's duty and obedience, as a reasonable and gainful service. 2.
