Genesis 9:21
“And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 9Meaning
Noah's drinking leads to drunkenness and naked exposure inside his tent, creating the crisis for the following verses.
Read carefully
The text reports drunkenness without presenting Noah as flawless; his earlier righteousness should not be confused with sinless perfection.
Reflection
Genesis allows honored figures to remain morally vulnerable, resisting the temptation to turn biblical characters into untouchable heroes.
