Genesis 9

Covenant with Noah.

1^* God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them: Be fertile and multiply and fill the earth.^a

2^* Fear and dread of you shall come upon all the animals of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon all the creatures that move about on the ground and all the fishes of the sea; into your power they are delivered.

3^b Any living creature that moves about shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants.

4^c Only meat with its lifeblood still in it you shall not eat.^*

5Indeed for your own lifeblood I will demand an accounting: from every animal I will demand it, and from a human being, each one for the blood of another, I will demand an accounting for human life.^d

6^* Anyone who sheds the blood of a human being,

by a human being shall that one’s blood be shed;

For in the image of God

have human beings been made.^e

7Be fertile, then, and multiply; abound on earth and subdue it.^f

8^* God said to Noah and to his sons with him:

9See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you^g

10and with every living creature that was with you: the birds, the tame animals, and all the wild animals that were with you—all that came out of the ark.

11I will establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood; there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth.^h

12God said: This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come:

13ⁱ I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds,

15I will remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature—every mortal being—so that the waters will never again become a flood to destroy every mortal being.^j

16When the bow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature—every mortal being that is on earth.

17God told Noah: This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and every mortal being that is on earth.

Noah and His Sons.

18^* The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.^k

19These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard.

21He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and lay naked inside his tent.^l

22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness, and he told his two brothers outside.

23Shem and Japheth, however, took a robe, and holding it on their shoulders, they walked backward and covered their father’s nakedness; since their faces were turned the other way, they did not see their father’s nakedness.

24When Noah woke up from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25he said:

“Cursed be Canaan!

The lowest of slaves

shall he be to his brothers.”^m

26He also said:

“Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem!

Let Canaan be his slave.

27May God expand Japheth,^*

and may he dwell among the tents of Shem;

and let Canaan be his slave.”

28Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.

29The whole lifetime of Noah was nine hundred and fifty years; then he died.

Genesis 10

Table of the Nations.^*

1These are the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, to whom children were born after the flood.

2^a The descendants of Japheth: Gomer,^* Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.^b

3The descendants of Gomer: Ashkenaz,^* Diphath and Togarmah.

4The descendants of Javan: Elishah,^* Tarshish, the Kittim and the Rodanim.

5From these branched out the maritime nations.

These are the descendants of Japheth by their lands, each with its own language, according to their clans, by their nations.

6The descendants of Ham: Cush,^* Mizraim, Put and Canaan.

7The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8Cush^* became the father of Nimrod, who was the first to become a mighty warrior on earth.

9He was a mighty hunter in the eyes of the LORD; hence the saying, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the eyes of the LORD.”

10His kingdom originated in Babylon, Erech and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.^*

11From that land he went forth to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir^* and Calah,

12as well as Resen, between Nineveh and Calah,^* the latter being the principal city.

13^c Mizraim became the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim,

14the Pathrusim,^* the Casluhim, and the Caphtorim from whom the Philistines came.

15Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of Heth;^*

16also of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward, the clans of the Canaanites spread out,

19so that the Canaanite borders extended from Sidon all the way to Gerar, near Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, near Lasha.

20These are the descendants of Ham, according to their clans, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.

21To Shem also, Japheth’s oldest brother and the ancestor of all the children of Eber,^* children were born.

22^d The descendants of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram.

23The descendants of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.

24Arpachshad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber.

25To Eber two sons were born: the name of the first was Peleg, for in his time the world was divided;^* and the name of his brother was Joktan.

26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were descendants of Joktan.

30Their settlements extended all the way from Mesha to Sephar, the eastern hill country.

31These are the descendants of Shem, according to their clans, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.

32These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their origins and by their nations. From these the nations of the earth branched out after the flood.

Mark 2:1-12

The Healing of a Paralytic.

1^* When Jesus returned to Capernaum^a after some days, it became known that he was at home.^*

2Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them.

3They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.

4Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

5^* When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”

6^* Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves,

7“Why does this man speak that way?^* He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?”^b

8Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?

9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk’?

10^* But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth”—

11he said to the paralytic, “I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.”

12He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”

I am including a video by Dr. Myles Munroe, I’ve listened to him back in the nineties, and rediscovered him recently. Now his perspective seems to be a good way to also look at scripture. In Pursuit of Purpose – Book Highlights
