The Book of Genesis
Comes from: The Bible
Author: Various Settlers
The Jews call the Bible Tanakh and the Christians call it the Old Testament
The writings of the Bible were gathered together and changed around 1000 b.c.e to possibly late second century b.c.e but the final version was done after 100 c.e
The story was written in a Theological point of view
The beginning of the Bible is called Genesis which includes Moses who is known to be the most looked ad figures in the Bible
Authors changed Genesis over the span from before 900 to after 721 b.c.e
1. YHWH destroys everyone except Noah and his family because he says that Noah is ‘Righteous in this generation’ and he was blameless. Noah also walked with God. The stories relate because one person is warned about something in each story.
2. The covenant that Noah and God made was that the earth wouldn’t flood again. The gods of Mesopotamia and the Israelites is that they both put a blessing on someone to survive. When Utnapishtim goes to the afterlife he goes to a paradise-type area.
3. The story seems to be crafted in a way where we should keep all the animals and all living things alive.
4.By putting the curse on Canaan, Ham would have to go through the torture of watching his son suffer from the curse.
5. The curse on Canaan suggested how slavery was normal in this time and still existed.

The Book of Deuteronomy
Comes from: The Bible
Author: Various Settlers
1.The covenant is that YHWH wants everyone to be his follower and follow his rules. If people follow his rules, they are rewarded.
2. There is nothing in this article that states information about rewards after death. I feel like this took place in the present time mostly so there was no talk about rewards for the afterlife.
4. The Commandments and Hammurabis Law both tell people how they should act. Hammurabis Law however gives you a punishment as to what would happen if you broke that rule whereas the Commandments just tell you not to

    The Covenants, New, and Old alike are God’s way of interacting and instructing His people in an Earthly and understandable way. They are contractual agreements. The Old Covenant became obsolete and irrelevant once His New Covenant was initiated through The Gospels. They help us see Him in a way in which we can confide and understand.…

    Standing proudly as two of the great pillars of world literature, particularly ancient world literature, the Book of Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh provide a great deal of insight into the nature of early human-animal relationships. In particular, the documentary hypothesis, which persuasively postulates that the Pentateuch is comprised of the writings of four different sources, means that the place and date of authorship of parts within the text (e.g. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2) vary significantly from each other. That said, it is a safe estimate that Genesis 1, which was written by the Priestly source, was composed in approximately 500 BCE by Jewish priests exiled in Babylon (Encyclopedia Britannica). Likewise, Genesis 2, written by the Yahwistic source, dates to around 950 BCE and was produced in Judaea (Encyclopedia…

    Notes on Dispensationalism

    The covenant theologian sees God’s revelation and man’s history as an outworking of God’s redemptive purposes for mankind, especially through Israel. It adopts the word “covenant” from the Bible but uses it in a different time framework than those covenants recorded through the Old and New Testaments. It chooses, overall, a less literal approach to Scripture interpretation, especially prophecy, and makes no clear distinction between the Israel of the Old Testament and the church of the New Testament. A modern modification is New Covenant Theology, which makes a complete disjunction between the old covenant and the new covenant. There is a modification of covenant theology based on the kingdom and its relationship to the covenants; this seeks to be a bridge between covenant and dispensational theology.…

    The reasons that the Gods sent the flood and the aftermath of the construction of the arc in both stories make the plot line go hand in hand but the concepts separate them. In the Biblical story, God had seen that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that the earth was corrupted with violence. Therefore, he sent the flood to purify the corrupted flesh of the earth. God then found Noah and commanded him to build an arc simply because of how honorable of a man he was. Noah then uses the arc to protect his family and every living thing of flesh. God did that to repopulate the earth once the wrath had been completed. Then, God made a covenant to man agreeing to never punish mankind in such a harsh manner again. In Gilgamesh, 5 Gods took an oath to keep the plan of flooding the earth a secret. They were going to exterminate the human race to punish them for the sins they had committed. One of the Gods, Ea, broke the oath and told Utnapishtim to build a ship in order to save his life. Utnapishtim then made an arc and boarded it with all the animals of the world so he could, too, repopulate the…

    Genesis and Gilgamesh

    • 438 Words

    When God made human beings he did so because he was lonely, but not so long after the creation of mankind God regretted what he had made. We were terrible neighbors. So God sent a flood as a punishment for all mankind. In both Gilgamesh and Genesis God announces the flood to one ‘savior’ of mankind, but in each story he does it in a different way. In Gilgamesh God comes in a dream while in Genesis God just tells Noah face to face. Despite the channel of communication both saviors take head to God’s warning and build a boat. They each take all different types of animals with them to repopulate the earth, but when it comes to the humans they chose to take Utnapishtim and Noah chose differently. Utnapishtim chooses to take his family along with a pilot for the boat and some craftsman, people that are necessary to rebuild a civilization. On the other hand you have Noah who only takes his family. The duration that each hero would embark on is also very different. Utnapishtim’s flood lasts for six days. While Noah’s flood lasts an astounding forty days. Another thing that makes these two stories extremely different is the final destination of the boats. While they both end up in the same region, the Middle East to be exact, Mt. Ararat and Mt. Nisir were maybe 500 miles away from each other. You can’t end up in two different places in one story. Lastly, the final blessings received from God at the end of each of the two journeys were also very different. Utnapishtim was granted eternal life for his good deeds while Noah was…

    In Hebrew Scripture, Noah believes in only one god making him monotheistic. Another difference between the stories is the reaction of Enlil and God after the flood has taken place. When Enlil discovered Utnapishtim has survived the flood, he is furious and demands to know who is responsible for saving him. Ea takes responsibility and accuses Enlil of bringing about a harsh, unnecessary genocide. In Genesis, things go differently. God takes full responsibility of the flood, admits that it served no purpose, and promises to never destroy all of Earth again.…

    To begin with, the Bible changed previous practices and was different from other religions. It has Hebrew lineage and origin with Israelites and Jews. The Bible itself was not subject to time and space and it was omnipotent. It called for no more animal sacrifices or rituals to be made. God was the transcendent creator. The Ancient Israelite religion was no longer in practice and the Temple in Jerusalem no longer existed. The books of the Old Testament were Jorah, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They all had no common theme within them…

    Additionally, the two versions differ in the audience that they were addressing. The book of Exodus primarily is a record of the Jewish people, by the Jewish people, during their journey through the desert. The book itself is written as a record of the events that the Jewish people experienced. In Exodus Moses records what God had told to him when He first gave him The Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. On the alternative side, Deuteronomy was written several decades later, as a recollection of the events that took place during the Jewish people’s journey through the desert. The title “Deuteronomy” was derived…

    Hebrew religion consisted of a single omnipotent god, Yahweh, while the Mesopotamians and Egyptians had multiple gods who each controlled their own section in nature. This means that the Hebrews only had to follow orders from one god, whereas Mesopotamians and Egyptians had to work hard to keep all of the gods happy. If what one god’s orders conflicted with another god’s orders, the people were forced to take sides, and unity would break. This could cause disputes amongst the two sides, and war could potentially break out. Alongside monotheism, the covenant also plays a major role in the structure of Hebrew religion. It is a pact that Abraham made with Yahweh, which both Yahweh and the Hebrew people had to follow. In exchange for land, a great nation, and guidance, the people had to worship Yahweh as their only god. This covenant keeps the Hebrews united, all following one god and one message, instead of listening to a whole pantheon of gods, all with different…
