Genesis 9:4

4 Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.

Arcana Coelestia #1090

1090. That 'Noah awoke from his wine' means when he was better informed is clear from the meaning of 'awakening after drunkenness'. When he was 'drunk', verse 21, meant that he sank into errors, and therefore 'awakening' is nothing else than emerging from errors.
