ARK LOVE & RAVEN

[Admin]

How old was Shem when he left the Ark? Shem would have been 98 when they departed from the Ark.

Noah began to father sons after reaching 500 years of age (2470 B.C.E.), the Deluge occurring in his 600th year. (Ge 5:32; 7:6) Already married at the time of the Deluge (Ge 6:18), Shem is stated to have fathered his first son, Arpachshad, two years after the Deluge (2368 B.C.E.) when he, Shem, was 100 years old. (Ge 11:10) This would mean that Shem was born when Noah was 502 years of age (2468 B.C.E.); and since Ham appears to be referred to as the “youngest son” (Ge 9:24), Japheth would logically be the first son born to Noah, when he was 500 years of age.

No false relgious teachings survived ghe flood

[Admin]

**FLOOD MYTHS The existence of so many flood myths bear credence to the fact there seems to have indeed been some kind of catastrophic event that left its imprint on the human psyche. The universiality of these stories and common features that this was an event early in man's history that left few survivors, cannot merely be dismissed that most people lived in areas near rivers susceptible to floods and indicate that this must have been a historical event.

www.bibleprobe.com/chinese.htm

The fact that the Sumerians (and many MANY other cultures) have a "flood myth" is undeniable evidence that the flood really happened!

“The harmony between all these accounts is an undeniable guarantee that the tradition is no idle invention; a fiction is individual, not universal; that tradition has, therefore, a historical foundation; it is the result of an event which really happened in the ages of the childhood of mankind.”
(Historical and Critical Commentary of the Old Testament)

“The universality of the flood accounts is usually taken as evidence for the universal destruction of humanity by a flood . . . Moreover, some of the ancient accounts were written by people very much in opposition to the Hebrew-Christian tradition.” (The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Volume 2, page 319)

The flood myth motif is found among many cultures as seen in the Mesopotamian flood stories, Deucalion in Greek mythology, the Genesis flood narrative, the Hindu texts from India, Bergelmir in Norse Mythology, in the lore of the K'iche' and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans in North America, the Muisca, and Cañari Confederation, in South America, and the Aboriginal tribes in southern Australia.

GENESIS: Chapter 9:20-28 NWT

<< Curse of Canaan [Gen 6] >>

<< w13 8/1 p. 12 [Go out of the Ark] >>

Genesis 9:23

QUESTION: What wrong was committed?

The expression “saw his father’s nakedness” may indicate some abuse or perversion. In most instances incest or other sexual sins are meant when the Bible speaks of ‘laying bare’ or ‘seeing the nakedness’ of another.

The Jewish publication, The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, suggests that the brief narrative “refers to some abominable deed in which Canaan seems to have been implicated.” The Soncino Chumash also points out that some believe Canaan “indulged a perverted lust upon [Noah],”

So, it is possible that Canaan had committed or attempted to commit some abuse on the unconscious Noah

QUESTION: Who was cursed?

The Account specifically refers to Caanan, not Ham, as being cursed. The Hebrew word translated “son” in verse 24 may mean “grandson,” so “The reference is evidently to Canaan.” The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, suggests that the brief narrative (Edited by J. H. Hertz, London, 1972, p. 34)

QUESTION: Why was Canaan (and NOT Ham) cursed?

Biblical record does not give any details as to Canaan’s implication in the offense against Noah. Yet some implication seems definitely intended by the fact that, just before relating the case of Noah’s drunkenness, Canaan is abruptly introduced into the account (Ge 9:18.) and, in describing Ham’s actions, the record refers to him as “Ham the father of Canaan.” (Ge 9:22)


QUESTION: So was Ham above reproach?

If Canaan was directly responsible for the incident (which logically he was, since it was him (canaan) that was eventually cursed), it could be and that his father Ham though having knowledge of this, failed either to prevent it or to take disciplinary action against the offender, and compounded the wrong by making known to his brothers Noah’s disgrace.

In any case, although Ham is linked to the events his actions, he was clearly not held to be accountable for what happened since he was not personally cursed.

Was the black race cursed? No, Canaan was not black skinned, nor were his descendants who settled in the land that became known as Palestine. (Gen. 10:15-19). The black race decended from Ham’s other sons, Cush and probably also Put, whose descendants settled in Africa.

The Canaanites were, in time, subjugated by the Israelites, descendants of Shem, and later by Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome, descendants of Japheth. This subjugation of the Canaanites fulfilled the prophetic curse on their ancestor Canaan. The curse thus had nothing to do with the black race.
