The Lord Will

Genesis 9:20

β€œAnd Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:”

KJV

Read in Genesis 9

Meaning

Noah turns to agriculture and plants a vineyard as settled life resumes after the flood.

Read carefully

The verse itself does not condemn viticulture; the moral complication appears in what follows with drunkenness and exposure.

Reflection

Ordinary cultivation resumes after catastrophe, but renewed life still contains moral vulnerability and human weakness.
