Genesis 9:20
βAnd Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:β
KJV
Read in Genesis 9Meaning
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.
