Genesis 9:26

Compare all

24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.

25 Then he said:
^a“Cursed be Canaan;
A ^bservant of servants
He shall be to his brethren.”

26 And he said:
^a“Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem,
And may Canaan be his servant.

27 May God ^aenlarge Japheth,
^bAnd may he dwell in the tents of Shem;
And may Canaan be his servant.”

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

29 So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Genesis 9:25

Genesis 9:27 >>

The God of Shem - All blessings are included in this. This was the blessing conferred on Abraham and his seed, the God of heaven was not ashamed to be called their God, Hebrews 11:16. Shem is sufficiently recompensed for his respect to his father by this, that the Lord himself puts this honour upon him to be his God; which is a sufficient recompense for all our services and all our sufferings for his name.
