Genesis 9:8-10
New English Translation
8 God said to Noah and his sons,[a] 9 “Look. I now confirm[b] my covenant with you and your descendants after you[c] 10 and with every living creature that is with you, including the birds, the domestic animals, and every living creature of the earth with you, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature of the earth.[d]

- Genesis 9:8 tn Heb “to Noah and to his sons with him, saying.”
- Genesis 9:9 tn Heb “I, look, I confirm.” The particle הִנְנִי (hineni) used with the participle מֵקִים (meqim) gives the sense of immediacy or imminence, as if to say, “Look! I am now confirming.”
- Genesis 9:9 tn The three pronominal suffixes (translated “you,” “your,” and “you”) are masculine plural. As v. 8 indicates, Noah and his sons are addressed.
- Genesis 9:10 tn The verbal repetition is apparently for emphasis.
