The story of Noah offers the first picture of God's punishment of people because of their sin. With the explanation of a murderer's punishment being the loss of his own life (Genesis 9:5-6) God shows the value he has set on human life. This becomes the basis for understanding not only God's nature but also the punishment for the sins of the people in Caanan. A people whose murderous and immoral ways are described later in Moses' writtings.
