Subject: confused about Noahs son |
Bible Note: Yes I did. And I understand that you see it meaning the father’s wife's nakedness as well. Understandable. However, this is a different circumstance, different occasion and different happening. What you refer to in Leviticus refers to incest. Nothing of the sort is actually stated or implied by the scripture reference in Genesis. Noah was simply in a drunken state, unawake and unaware of his exposed self. By implying that some sort of incest or sexual act had taken place, you would be hard pressed to reconcile how his other two sons reacted and be purely speculative. Genesis 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. Noah was simply uncovered in his tent as Genesis 9:21 states. Stand in His grace, WOS |
