Dunn; John William Rogerson (eds.). Eerdmans Bible Commentary. Eerdmans. ISBN 9780802837110. Noah's Ark ( Hebrew: תיבת נח; Biblical Hebrew: Tevat Noaḥ) [Notes 1] is the ship in the Genesis flood narrative through which God spares Noah, his family, and examples of all the world's animals from a global deluge. [1] The story in Genesis is based on earlier flood myths originating in Mesopotamia, and is repeated, with variations, in the Quran, where the Ark appears as Safinat Nūḥ ( Arabic: سَفِينَةُ نُوحٍ "Noah's ship") and al-fulk (Arabic: الفُلْك).

In the fourth century, Epiphanius of Salamis wrote about Noah's Ark in his Panarion, saying "Thus even today the remains of Noah's ark are still shown in Cardyaei." [50] Other translations render "Cardyaei" as "the country of the Kurds". [51]From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, 25 November 1950.

The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, ( A) because I have found you righteous ( B) in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean ( C) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive ( D) throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain ( E) on the earth ( F) for forty days ( G) and forty nights, ( H) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made. ( I)” Genesis 10:1–32: “These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” Having wiped out all other humans, the world needed to re-populate so that the sons of Noah became the ancestors of different genealogies. But an odd story concerning Ham continues to be debated. We read that Noah “planted a vineyard.” All ancient pantheons portrayed one of the original gods or goddesses with the introduction and arts of agriculture. For example, Ceres as the originator of grain and Dionysus as the originator of vine-growing.

Questions & Answers

Genesis was composed of both oral traditions and “updated” material over many centuries. The scholarly consensus is that the first five books of the Scriptures were first written down c. 600 BCE, with the final editing completed during the period of “the Exile” in Babylon/ Persia in the fifth century BCE. Like many other stories in Genesis, there is often two and sometimes three versions of the same story.

How long did the Flood last? ‘For 40 days and 40 nights’, every Christian will surely reply. But this isn’t what Genesis tells us. Or rather, it is and it isn’t: the Flood lasted 40 days according to Genesis 7:17, but for 150 days according to 7:24. This is one of several inconsistencies in the Biblical account. Nor did Noah take two of every animal onto the Ark – or rather, again, he did and he didn’t. In 7:2, God tells Noah to take seven of ‘every clean beast’, ‘and of beats that are not clean by two, the male and the female’. This contradicts what had been said in 6:19: ‘And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark’. The same goes (6:20) for every fowl, cattle, and ‘creeping thing’.AND when you donate, your entire transaction becomes eligible for gift aid*, meaning we can claim an extra 25% on the entire transaction, at no additional cost to you.
