THE STORY OF NOAH

6/8/20

(From the Judeo-Christian Bible i.e. the Old Testament)

After the generation of Adam, the earth became corrupted and filled with violence; therefore God repented of ever creating them and decided to destroy men and all beasts from its surface – except for Noah, who was a righteous man.

God told Noah that He was about to send a flood upon the earth and everything that was in it would die. Though, God made a covenant to spare Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives. God ordered Noah to build an ark and to take his family in it. God also commanded him to bring the beasts.

Noah did according to God’s command. Then, when Noah was 600 years old, all the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were opened. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and the water prevailed for 150 days. The water covered all the hills and mountains. All the beasts and every man died – except for Noah and everything inside the ark.

Then God remembered Noah and every living thing that were in the ark; so He restrained the water from the heaven and the water returned to the earth continually. On the 7th day of the 7th month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat (today Turkey).

The water decreased continually, until the 10th month the tops of the mountains could be seen again. 40 days later Noah opened the window from the ark and sent a raven and a dove to see whether the waters were dried up from the earth. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and it returned to Noah in the ark. 7 days later he tried again, and the dove came back with an olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

7 days later he sent forth the dove again; which did not return to him anymore. So Noah, his wife, 3 sons, their wives and all the beasts came out of the ark and was commanded by God to multiply and replenish the earth. Noah built an altar and sacrificed some clean beasts and clean fowls and offered them on the altar. After the flood Noah and his family lived in Ararat with his wife and 3 sons and wives. And they replenished the Earth.
