Noah's Disobedience

Question

After disembarking, Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives were all commanded to, "Be fruitful, multiply, increase in number and fill the Earth with sons and daughters." — Genesis 1:27-28, 5:1-4, 6:1, 9:1, 9:7 The Table of Nations in Genesis 10 records the genealogy of Shem, Japheth and Ham, **but does not record Noah's continued genealogy**. Did Noah continue to have children, and if so, why aren't their names recorded? Noah lived for another 350 years after the Flood Cataclysm, if he did not continue to have children he would have been in gross violation of the **Blessed Commandment** to have strong, healthy and productive families. So, did Noah honour or violate the Blessed Commandment? If he honoured it, why aren't the names of his other children recorded or why isn't it at least recorded that he had other sons and daughters? If he had violated the Blessed Commandment, why did he do so?

Answer 1

Great question. Maybe the easy way to understand this is that he and his wife had entered into a season of infertility and therefore were unable to have any more. Since the Bible doesn't address that issue directly, we don't know whether he did or didn't or could or couldn't. Suffice to say that God in His providence, more than provided for mankind to be fruitful through his sons.
