Noah's Ark

Noah was of Akkadian heritage, though he was also part Hurrian. He was born around 1760 BC in the city of Hanoch near the Tigris River (now the ruins of Hamoukan, eastern Syria). This was the city founded by Cain. There he was a vintner and sporadically a priest of Adonai. He was a descendant of Adammu (born around 2030 BC), a prince of Ur who had married his wife Hova in Urkesh (Mozah, Syria), got into serious religious trouble preaching monotheism (for the god Adonai, or Adonis), and who then moved to a large estate near the city of Nisibis (present-day Nusaybin, Turkey). He had three sons named Cain, Abel and Seth. Cain killed Abel in a religious argument and was banished from Nisibis. Accompanied by his brother Seth, he moved east towards the Tigris until he came to the ruins of an ancient city. Cain built a new city amidst the ruins and called it Hanoch after his son. Cain became the ruler and Seth the priest of the new settlement. The descendants of Cain were the kings of Hanoch, while the descendants of Seth were the high priests. But gradually the people of Hanoch stopped believing in Adonai and began worshipping many gods. Finally the priest Lamech shut the temple down and became a vintner, as was his son Noah. But it was at this time that King Jabal III of Hanoch became evil, and started sacrificing people to the gods. Noah was married to the king's sister Naamah, and thus was safe, but Noah shuddered for the fate of his people. One night Noah had a dream in which God commanded him to build a gigantic boat, which he promptly did. His neighbors laughed at him, for Hanoch was some miles from the river. But shortly afterwards the Tigris River overflowed in a gigantic flood and the city of Hanoch was destroyed. Only Noah and his family survived in the Ark. The wall of water swept them many miles south through the flooded plain until they fetched up against the Sinjar Mountains. There Noah disembarked and offered sacrifice for his celebrated escape. But Noah loved the riverlands no more, he was afraid of them. He moved his entire family to the highlands of Mannaea and lived in the town of Zolcarda (now Igdir, Turkey) under the shadow of Mount Ararat. There he died around 1680 BC, and was buried in a cave in the side of the mountain. His sons Shem and Ham then moved back to the Middle East, but his other son Japheth moved to Thrace.

No! Berosus of Chaldea casually tells us that his king loved to read the books written before the flood and that their Noah even wrote some himself and buried them in Sippur (booktown - obviously an ancient library). But as for the Torah these were written down after the flood (around 1300 BC) though the tales from genesis 1-11 existed before this. In what forms we cannot say at this time.

In a synagogue the holy Ark is always in front of the sanctuary - so that everybody faces the ark while praying. It is considered impolite the turn ones back to the ark which houses the holy Torah scrolls. In the USA the ark will be in the East, as Jews pray facing Israel and Jerusalem. (In Jerusalem they pray facing the Temple Mount.)

Answer 2

Throughout the world, the Holy Ark in every synagogue is positioned such that the worshipers, as they face the Ark, will be facing Jerusalem. We always face Jerusalem in prayer (Talmud, Berakhot 30a), because God's presence dwelt there (1 Kings ch.8).

Jerusalem is the center of Judaism. It is important to Jews because it was chosen by God (Zechariah 3:2). It was the site of the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, in Genesis ch.22) and was later the seat of the Davidic Kings, when King David, Israel's greatest king, founded the dynasty that ruled Judah for much of its history, making Jerusalem the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel during his reign and that of his son, King Solomon.

Most importantly, it was the location of the First and Second Temples, where offerings were made to God and where His presence dwelt in the Holy of Holies (1 Kings ch.8) and was manifested in a number of miracles (Mishna, Avot ch.5).

Abraham was not yet born.

They were all Adam's Race or what we commonly cal the Human Race.

Neither. Noah's ark was most likely built on the Persian Gulf. When it came to rest on Mt. Ararat, it was in what is modern day Turkey, which is currently a Moselm country. However, it was not Islamic at the time because Mohammed had not yet been born.

Noah was the last one to get inside Noah's Ark, he wanted to ensure that all of the animals was in the boat

Although the story may hold some truth, much of it is clearly fiction. Most likely there was a catastrophic flood in a relatively localized region which someone managed to survive. However, over time as the tale was retold down the generations extraordinary details were added in as the whole event was exaggerated.

A number of Biblical scholars believe that the story of Noah as it appears in Genesis was actually compiled from either two separate stories or two different accounts.

The people, the birds, and the animals were on the ark one year and ten days, according to Genesis 7:14-17, 8:14-19. Noah was 600 years old when the 40 days and 40 nights of rain began. He turned 601 just before the flood waters completely receded.

The word "ark" is used in different contexts. 1) The holy ark is the special ark in each synagogue in which the Torah-scrolls are stored. It is a tall, heavy, fancy cabinet with a curtain in front and double doors.

2) The holy ark was the Ark of the Covenant in which the two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments were held. It was a heavy wooden box covered with gold, with a gold lid. Exodus ch.25.

3) Noah's ark (Genesis ch.6), a type of huge boat, is recorded in the Torah and in the history of many ancient nations. The word for this ark in Hebrew is not the same as the above two.

The book of Genesis didn't indicate where Noah and his family left the ark. It just indicated that the ark settled on a mountain in the Ararat range. A popular Christian belief has tended towards the actual Mount Ararat within the Ararat range. According to the Qu'ran, the particular mountain top was Mount Judi. In between these two longstanding suggestions has been a range of possibilities in term of final resting place. But among those possibilities, Mount Horeb though considered most holy hasn't tended to number in the final pool. In fact, scholars still aren't sure exactly where this mountain of God was located.

40 days and 40 nights.

The lineage of David is twice contained in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. The first one is in Matthew 1:1-17 and the second in Luke 3:23-38.

The children of Noah were descendants of Adam. Only Noah and his children survived, and so repopulated the earth.

The account of Noah (as well as the ark) is mentioned by Christ in Matthew 24:37-39 as well as the apostle Peter in 2 Peter 2:5.
