    Most biblical historians and theological scholars have determined that the Great Flood as told in Genesis occurred sometime around 2500BC. In Genesis 6 through 8 it tells of how God who became dissatisfied with the wickedness of mankind causes a flood in order to destroy mankind. Before the flood, however, God finds a righteous man and tells him to build an ark for his family and the animals of the earth in order for them to repopulate the Earth after the flood. The rains begin causing a flood that kills every living creature of the Earth except for those that are on the ark. Eventually, the rains stop, the flood waters finally recede, dry land is found allowing Noah and his family along with all of the animals to leave the ark.…

The first column starting on the left is the Covenant’s biblical references, or in more simple terms, what Scripture in Genesis this is occurring in. The second column is to whom it is addressed to, with the third column being the circumstance under which it was reiterated. The fourth column is the “Ingredients” column, or what the Covenant is made up of.

    Before the flood, Utnapishtim saw a god named Ea. Ea warned Utnapishtim that a flood was going to destroy the earth’s contents and that he needs to build an enormous boat. “Ea, who was present at their council, came to my house and, frightened by the violent winds that filled the air, echoed all that they were planning and had said, Man of Shurrupak, he said, tear down your house and build a ship” (The Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet XI). Utnapishtim took all the kinds of animals, and his family members, plus some other humans into his boat. Shamash the sun god showered down loaves of bread and rained down wheat to prepare him for the days the people in the boat must stay onboard. Noah’s flood was alike in the overall idea, but many of the specifics are different. Instead of appearing in a dream, Noah’s Yahweh directly announced that there would be a global flood that would wipe away mankind. “And God said to Noah, ‘I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth’” (Genesis 6:13). Noah built an oblong box-shaped boat and filled the boat with his family members and all kinds of animals. Both boats loaded up and shut the single door, ready for the flood to begin.…

    There are few ancient documents that have survived the hardship of time. Actually, whether or not the writings are fiction or non-fiction, these literary works give a concept of what life was like in that time period. When similarities are discovered, they most likely point to real facts. The Biblical account of Noah’s flood and The Epic of Gilgamesh indicate that a real, disastrous flood literally did happen. While The Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis flood documents are very different in multiple ways, they are surprisingly similar. Because of these fascinating parallels, there is actual reason to believe that a catastrophic global deluge did exist.…

    In both versions of the flood something angers the higher power/s. In the epic of Gilgamesh, "The uproar of mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible by reasons of the Babel" (Gilgamesh 12). The gods are angered by the disturbance of mankind. In Gilgamesh the Gods are given more human qualities, their decision is an act of selfishness not of a greater good. The council of gods decides to destroy all of humanity so they can sleep…

    The occurrence of the flood is similar in both the Genesis and Gilgamesh. In both, two men are employed to build a boat in the event of an upcoming flood. Noah is advised by God to “Make [himself] an ark of cypress wood” (Genesis 6), and to survive the upcoming floods with his family and two of many livestock. Likewise, Utnapishtim is approached by the God Ea to “demolish the house, and build a boat” (Gilgamesh 89). Both are ordered to build a boat with many compartments to save the animals to repopulate the world after the floods. Both Noah and Utnapishtim’s families are also the only survivors of both floods because of the boats. Another similarity between Gilgamesh and…

    It is apparent in our class readings, that when the gods are angry at the humans they created, these gods unleash unforgiving rains to flood the earth, and kill the human race. Over the years, there have been various texts about these floods. While the occurrences of the floods themselves are continuous throughout these texts, they have varying reasons for the cause of the floods and different aftermaths or consequences. Three of these texts in particular which tell the story of these floods, are Gilgamesh translated by Stephen Mitchell, Metamorphoses by Ovid and Genesis. The main factor in these floods was of course the god or gods who created it. Therefore, the floods in each of these three texts were different, because the gods who created the floods were different. Even though a flood occurs in all of the three texts, the cause, the flood itself and the aftermaths of the floods are different.…

    Noah himself gave me hope. I came to realize as I read that Noah was the first example of a genuinely righteous man in the Bible. With unbending confidence in God's word, Noah began to build the Arc. Noah could nearly even be considered an in advance example of what Jesus would be like. For approximately 120 years, Noah preached God's judgement, mercy, and the coming flood. However, people turned their heads at Noah and continued in their evil ways. Another interesting event was the first time rain fell from the heavens (Genesis 7:12). Before the great flood, water came up from the ground (Genesis 2:6).…

    Next, God as a loving partner and God as a warrior are compatible with Noah and the Flood. As a loving partner, God allowed Noah to preach for 120 years about the flood (Genesis 6:3). This gave the people sufficient amount of time to harken to the words of Noah. Everyone had a chance to trust Noah and be saved. God showed compassion towards Noah by…
