Kabbalah su Genesi 9:78
Zohar
When Noah appeared in the world, he prepared spades and hoes. Afterwards, however, "he drank of the wine, and was drunk; and he was uncovered within his tent" (Gen. 9:21). And later, the people of the world sinned before the Holy One, blessed be He. And the powers of the earth disappeared again. And so it remained until Abraham appeared.

Zohar
Come and behold: from the day the world was created, Noah was destined to be joined in union with and to enter the ark. And until they were joined as one, the world had not reached a fully stable condition. And as soon as this occurred, it is written: "From these was the whole earth overspread" (Gen. 9:19). What is meant by "overspread", נָפְצָה? These words are analogous to the verse: "and from thence the river parted" (Gen. 2:10) (meaning that spreading out is similar to the supernal ark, which is the secret of the Garden). For from that point in the text onward, we find the separation and diffusion of progeny into all quarters of the world. (After they were perfected in the ark, they were able to come forth and exist in the world of separation without being annihilated, as was the generation of the Great Flood). And all is one and one is like the other. Therefore "These are the generations of Noah." "These" specifically. Only Yesod (the foundation) of the world

Zohar
"Yet trouble came." It was the trouble and confusion about Joseph, which was the hardest affliction of all. Why? Because Jacob loved Joseph, who is the secret of the Covenant through which Jacob entered Egypt. After this, it is written, "I remembered my covenant" (Beresheet 9:15), because the Shechinah was there with him, with the Covenant, who is Joseph. Thus, the confusion about Joseph was harder on him than all other afflictions that befell him.

Zohar
Come and behold: Eve came into the world and clung to the serpent. He injected impurities into her, and she brought death to the world and to her husband. Sarah then came and went down (into the place of the Sitra Achra but) she rose again without any kelipot clinging to her, as it is written, "And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had" (Gen. 13:1). When Noah came to the world, it is written that "he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and he was uncovered within his tent" (Gen. 9:21).

Zohar
All of them were successful men, and they were chieftains in Israel. But they spoke among themselves an evil counsel. Why did they take this counsel? They said, if Israel will go up to the [promised] land, we will be stripped of our being chieftains, and Moshe will institute chieftains after us, because in the desert we merit to be chieftains, but in the land we will not be of [such] merit. And because they took between themselves this evil counsel, they themselves died, and all those who received their words.

Sefer HaBahir
Why did God add the letter He to Abraham's name, rather than any other letter? This was so that all parts of man's body should be worthy of life in the World to Come, which is likened to the sea. To the extent that we can express it, the Structure was completed in Abraham. It is written (Genesis 9:6), "For in His image Did God make man." The numerical value of Abraham is 248, the number of organs in man's body.

Zohar
Of Noah, it is first written, "Noah was a just man and perfect" (Gen. 6:9). Then he descended and saw strong wine that was one day old and not clear. He drank from it, became drunk, and was uncovered, as it is written, "and he drank of the wine, and was drunk; and he was uncovered within his tent" (Gen. 9:21).

Zohar
(Shir Hashirim 1:14) "A cluster of henna is my Beloved." A cluster refers to the Supernal Imma (Mother), namely NAMELY BINAH. As a cluster is decorated with so many leaves and so many branches to Israel who eat it, so the Supernal Shechinah, WHICH IS BINAH, is decorated. SHE ELEVATES MAYIN NUKVIN (FEMALE WATERS) TO CHOCHMAH, with many jewels of eight vessels, NAMELY THE FOUR LETTERS OF YOD HEH VAV HEH AND THE FOUR LETTERS OF ADONAI, WHICH ARE MALE AND FEMALE, many offerings THAT ISRAEL OFFER, and many kinds of ornaments of atonement for Her children. She stands in them before the King, WHICH IS CHOCHMAH, and immediately, "And I will look on it, to remember the everlasting covenant" (Bereishit 9:16), MEANING THAT HE UNITES WITH HER. AND BINAH gives us from her petitions SHE ASKED FROM CHOCHMAH FOR OUR SAKES, THROUGH those blessings that the sages composed to request before the King in the prayer service.

Zohar
"And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea" (Ibid.). We have seen this secret in the Book of King Solomon, where it says that if a person has pity on the poor from all his heart, his image shall not be changed and shall remain forever as that of the first man. As a result of having the mark of the image of Adam, he therefore shall rule over all creatures on earth by that image. As it is written, "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast" (Genesis 9:2). All have fear of that image and dread the image marked on him, because this is the most praised precept. It is above all the others, because by this precept, the Son of Man is able to elevate himself by the image of Adam.
