Thematic Essay On Genesis 6-11

513 Words3 Pages

In Genesis 6-9 we read about the flood. The main point of this story is that God cares about the world. God is a loving person and he hates corruption.

The fact that God made it rain for a whole 40 days and 40 nights and covered the whole earth with water is just amazing. He also keeps his promises through this story.

    In the story of “ Noah and the Flood”, the flood wiped out the entire earth and lasted for 40 days and 40 nights. In “The Story of the Flood” in The Epic of Gilgamesh, the flood also wiped out the entire earth but only lasted for 6 days and 6 nights, causing a different effect than the flood of the ark did. As god wipes out the earth in The Epic of Gilgamesh, he explains how “‘[he] has brought them forth’” and has the power to destroy them just as easily (42). Both gods believed that they have created their people and they have disowned them, but both believed so for different reasons. Moses, who wrote the bible for the Hebrews which was then called Genesis, believed that the people have truly been disobedient and wants to create a more peaceful culture.

Then, God sends torrential rain for forty days and forty nights, covering the highest peaks with more than twenty feet of water. The water, eventually, recedes.

Innumerable accounts of a great deluge surfaced since the time of the unearthing of The Epic of Gilgamesh. The Sumerians, the Mesopotamians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, even the Hittites all have an account of a long distant memory of a great flood.
