I ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH YOU

Genesis 9:1-11:32
Key Verse: 9: 11

“I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

Read V1-4. How did God bless Noah and His sons. How did he reestablish order?  How was the basis of this new order different from that of the original creation order which God established? 

Read V5-7. Why is human life valuable? In what ways did God teach men that human life is valuable? (Lev. 17:11). Why were these lessons necessary?

Read V8-17. Describe the covenant of life which God made with all living creatures. What is the sign of the covenant? What does this rainbow teach us about God? Read V9:18-10:32. Think about the sons of Noah. 

Read V11:1-9. Why did men build the tower of Babel? Why was God displeased? How did God deal with the problem? What does this even teach about mankind? About God? 

Read V11:10-32. Think about the account of Shem to Abram.
