Pre-Mosaic Dietary Laws:
Gen 9: 4 But you must not eat meat with its life (that is, its blood) in it.
Covenant between God and the earth:
Gen 9: 13 I will place my rainbow in the clouds, and it will become a guarantee of the covenant between me and the earth.
Covenants and remembering:
Gen 9: 16 When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will notice it and remember the perpetual covenant between God and all living creatures of all kinds that are on the earth.”
1 Cor 11: 25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Gen 9: 25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan.
Note: The expression “the earth was divided” may refer to dividing the land with canals, but more likely it anticipates the division of languages at Babel (Gen 11). The verb פָּלָג (palag, “separate, divide”) is used in Ps 55:9 for a division of languages.

Matt 9: 8 When the crowd saw this, they were afraid and honored God who had given such authority to men.
Note: Most witnesses (C L Θ 0233 Ë Ï) have ἐθαύμασαν (eqaumasan; “marveled, were amazed”) instead of ἐφοβήθησαν (efobhqhsan) here, effectively turning the fearful reaction into one of veneration. But the harder reading is well supported by א B D W 0281 Ë 33 892 1424 al lat co and thus is surely authentic.
