Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

This Week’s Torah Portion: Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

“Whoever sheds human blood,
    by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
    has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6)

God’s renewed covenant with humanity, permits us to eat meat of other creatures (originally God wanted all creatures to live in Shalom with other creatures and not eat each other, but be vegetarians).

As long as we do not murder other humans, humans have the Divine presence in them, and killing another human being diminishes the image of God on earth. 

Parsha Noach – נֹחַ Torah Summary:

God decides to cause a flood that will destroy the world, sparing only Noah’s family and the animals that Noah gathers together on the ark. (6:9-8:22) Life starts over again after the Flood. The Noahide Commandments are listed, and God uses a rainbow to make a symbol of the first covenant. (9:1-17) People start to build a city and the Tower of Babel. God scatters the people and gives them different languages to speak. (11:1-9) The ten generations from Noah to Abram are listed. (11:10-29:2) Noach – נֹחַ “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6) God’s renewed covenant with humanity, permits us to eat meat of other creatures (originally God wanted all creatures to live in Shalom with other creatures and not eat each other, but be vegetarians).
