Genesis Chapter 9 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. surely your blood of your lives will I require--The fourth part establishes a new power for protecting life--the institution of the civil magistrate
(Ro 13:4),
armed with public and official authority to repress the commission of violence and crime. Such a power had not previously existed in patriarchal society.

6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood . . . for in the image of God made he man--It is true that image has been injured by the fall, but it is not lost.

Genesis Chapter 9 24 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
24. This incident could scarcely have happened till twenty years after the flood; for Canaan, whose conduct was more offensive than that even of his father, was not born till after that event. It is probable that there is a long interval included between these verses and that this prophecy, like that of Jacob on his sons, was not uttered till near the close of Noah's life when the prophetic spirit came upon him; this presumption is strengthened by the mention of his death immediately after.
