Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 9:20

20. And Noah began to be an Husbandman , and he planted a Vineyard.

(i. e.) Was an Husbandman, as he had been before. The Verb, to begin, doth oft abound, and is applied to him that continueth or repeateth an action begun before. Thus Christ is said to begin to cast out, Mark 11. 15. and to begin to speak, Luk. 12. 1. For which in the parallel places he is said only to cast out, Matth. 21. 12. and to speak▪ Matth. 16. 6.
