Gen 7:11-16 KJV In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (v.12) And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. (v.13) In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; (v.14) They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. (v.15) And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. (v.16) And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

A:Noah would have been on the ark until the great Flood subsided. In the Book of Genesis, we can also find that one story has the flood subsiding in just forty days, while another says that it lasted one whole year. The reason for this surprising find is that there are actually two stories of Noah's Ark in the Bible, written by two different authors and cleverly interleaved so that the result appears to be just one, rather complicated story.

We do not know the names of the two different authors of the biblical stories of Noah, and they are now called the Priestly Source and the Yahwist:

  • The Flood verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17.
  • The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.

Were there no rainbows before Noah's Deluge Genesis 9 v9 to 13?

The answer is Correct, no one had ever seen a Rainbow (in the sky or on the face of the earth) before the rain stopped (after 1 year and 10 days) and the first Rainbow appeared before Noah. There could not have been. This is a very, very important study. More than most folks could begin to know. If someone could find out how the earth could exists without a rainbow, they would then have the answer to so many questions about evolution itself.
