Noah's Ark is a vessel describes in Genesis chapters 6-9 of the Hebrew Bible. In the story, God instructs a man named Noah to build an ark to providing a save-haven for Noah, his family, and all species of animals. Once Noah and his fellow travelers are aboard the ark, God enacts a massive flood, destroying all other living things on the planet. The inhabitants of the ark go on to repopulate the world after the great flood.

Noah was a righteous man who lived amongst wicked and unrighteous people in his time. The bible said that the imagination of man's heart at that time was continually wicked - Genesis Chapter 6 verses 1 - 8. Noah became a hero because he obeyed God completely and carrying out the instructions on building an ark that kept him and his immediate families and also 2 pairs of every species of animals on earth because God had decided to destroy the entire world with a Flood. The sacrifice Noah offered after the flood receded made God to establish a covenant that He would never destroy the world again with Flood because of man's sins. God used a rainbow as the sign of the covenant that whenever He sees the rainbow , He will remember the covenant. This made Noah a hero. For more information read the book of Genesis chapter 6, 7, 8 and chapter 9.
Was there a climate change after Noah's flood?
Young Earth Creationists say there was a climate change after the biblical Flood, that this was 'the' Ice Age that scientists talk about. They say the Ice Age that must have come just over four thousand years ago explains the geological formations, such as the Grand Canyon, that clearly are the result of erosion.
That view is considered totally unscientific by real scientists. They say that the world is immensely old, there was no great, world-wide Flood to be followed by an Ice Age, and that there were actually several Ice Ages over a very long period of time. There is no record of an Ice Age within recent history, and such an incredibly short period of climate change could not have left the legacy of the real Ice Ages. There was no Noah's Flood and there was no climate change to follow it.
No.
All humanity descends from Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Ishmael was descended from Shem, through Abraham and his Egyptian wife, Hagar, and was the father of the Ishmaelites.(Genesis 11:10-27)(1Chronicles 1:28)
The Canaanites descended from Ham, through Canaan, and were made up of eleven tribes who lived in the land of Canaan: The Amorites, Arkites, Arvadites, Girgashites, Hamathites, Hittites, Hivites, Jebusites, Sidonians (Phoenicians), Sinites, Zemarites. (Genesis 9:18; 10:6).
What was the purpose of the unclean animals?
The hoof or foot of the beast. a cloven hoof (hoof is split example A Camel has a cloven hoof) this makes it unclean . while a hoof without a split is not unclean. Example Cows horses buffalo ect So... A horse is unclean but they still took it onto the ark. however a dog or a cow is clean.
How long was Noah's Ark on the water?
== Genesis 7:19 says, And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. The highest hill is Mount Everest, which gives an increase over sea level of 32,000 feet. There are a number of problems that are met when trying to imagine where this water came from, or went to. International jetliners fly at around this altitude (32,000 feet). It is known that marine fossils are found near the summit of Everest. Marine fossils form under water. It is also known that geologic processes can take place much more rapidly under the right conditions. The work by Dr John Baumgartner on 'runaway subduction' indicates how rapidly these processes can take place. Rapid plate movement also relates to rapid mountain uplift which undoubtedly occurred towards the end of the flood year as the waters then receded into the ocean trenches.
With regard to the amount of water on the earth, it is also known that if the earth were flat (still spherical but with no mountains) water would cover the earth to a height of several miles. There is also a huge underground ocean underneath east Asia as large as the Arctic ocean. This has recently been revealed through a long term seismic study. So there is plenty of water on and under the planet.
In regard to Everest. It is also known that it is still rising, albeit slowly and is now slightly than it was when first climbed. No creation scientist would hold the view that Everest was as high then as it is now. This would also apply to many other peaks, many of which, incidentally, also have marine fossils near the top.
Who built a ark with pyrrha and survived a flood?
according to the bible it is Noah who build an ark .
How long did Noah's flood last in the bible calendar year?
The length of an Earth year is determined solely by the length of the Earth's orbit around the sun, which in turn is determined from our distance from the sun. Even over a timespan of millions of years, scientists have found no evidence for a significant change in the length of one year, nor for a significant change in the distance between the Earth and the sun.
According to the Bible, Noah lived to the age of 950 years. That is implausible, but we could for example imagine that one year was once only one tenth of the years that we know. For the Earth's orbit to be so shortened as to make one year equivalent to one-tenth of the years that we know, the Earth would have been so close to the sun that all water would have vapourised and even lead would have melted. This did not happen.
We can be sure that if Noah really lived to such an improbable age, they were nine hundred and fifty full years.
How do you know it took Noah 120 years to build the ark?
Answer
No, the Scripture does not specifically state how long Noah and his sons took to build the Ark, but one would surely assume God gave him enough time and instructions to build this WWII Aircraft Carrier size barge.
Generally, it is accepted that the period is 100 years as Genesis 5 ends with Noah being 500 years old and Genesis 6 states he was 600 years old when the Flood began.
Concerning the cargo, the Bible states only the land animals were to be taken and then due to the early stages of life from Creation, only the 'genera' of a species would be necessary to take - consider the dog family (Canidae) that has wolves, coyotes, jackal, bears, etc. There would be no need to take aquatic life. This would greatly reduce the number of creatures taken and cared for. And as many creatures go into 'topor' or slow down mode, the amounts of food/care would be reduced as well.
When a statistical approach is used, it is easy to see that the ark could have carried its intended cargo. According to John Woodmorappe (Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, 1996, p. 7), the total of the animals that Noah would have needed in the ark to meet the biblical requirements would number between 2,000 and 16,000-not in the hundreds of thousands as many might suppose.
Why did Noah release the raven?
After the rains, as the flood waters receded, the raven was the first that Noah sent out on a reconnaissance mission.
Why the raven ? His reason for that choice isn't mentioned in the text, but I'd suggest for your that it could have been because ravens live very well off of carrion, of which plenty was laying around as the waters receded and the land was revealed.
What are the clothes during Christ's time?
A common cloth is now called linen which is made of flax fiber and of course there was wool. But I believe there was not cotton then. Someone please confirm about cotton.

How many trees did it take to build Noah's ark?
We know the dimensions of Noah's ark, but there is no way of knowing the number of trees since we are not able to identify the type of wood used, nor the size of each tree. It would have been in the hundreds at least, possibly thousands, which is why it took so long to build.
Why did Noah put only two of each animal on the ark and how did he keep them from mating?
Because God told him to put two of every 'unclean' beast but sevens of all the beasts considered 'clean'. Also the birds were represented in sevens. As for the mating we aren't told but there's no reason why they wouldn't have. Two Genesis 6:19 Of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark. Genesis 7:8, 9, 15 Of clean beast and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl ... there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God commanded Noah. This verse, God commanded Noah to take both clean and unclean animals in pairs. Seven Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take thee by sevens, the male and his female. Note; Seven is an odd number and cannot be a pair. There will one odd animal left behind with no pair. More than likely these were used for sacrifice after the ark landed on dry ground, as at this point mankind had not been given permission to eat meat.
How many females were on Noahs ark?
Yes, there were at least one of each sex of the different kinds. Genesis 7:2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
How many years did it take Noah to build the ark?
The Book of Genesis describes the Ark as a huge and complex wooden container around 130 metres long. Noah had only himself and his three sons, who would also have had to work long hours to produce food for the family. If there ever really was an Ark, it must have taken years to build.
Noah is famous in the bible, because he and his family escaped the floods .
Did Noah have woodpeckers on the ark?
Woodpeckers are not specifically mentioned. Whatever birds were on the ark would have had the genetic material from which our current woodpeckers developed via natural selection and may have had some of the same characteristics, but woodpeckers themselves as we know them need not have been on the ark. The Bible states that various numbers of each kind were taken on the ark, and kinds do not equate to our modern classification system. The answer is that it is not possible to precisely know, but it is certain that at least their ancestral kind of bird were.
How long did Noah stay in the before floods completely dried?
The waters receded sufficiently for the ark to land and the people and animals to emerge after a number of months. Some say God sent a wind in order to hasten the evaporation. The oceans and deep underwater trenches could now accommodate much of the flood waters. Additionally, there are vast amounts of water held in artesian basins and huge underground seas such as one below East Asia which is the size of the Arctic Ocean. All of these changes would have hastened the removal of flood waters from the earth and reduced the drying time considerably.
What does the Noah and the Ark story teach us about God?
We can read the story of Noah and the Ark literally or allegorically.
If we read the story literally, it tells us that God's powers are somewhat limited, just as they are in the second creation story in Genesis. An all-powerful God could have simply destroyed those people he thought unfit to live, without requiring the forces of nature. Nothing further was gained by creating a Flood that would destroy even the most harmless living creatures.
If we read the story allegorically, then it symbolises God's anger at evil in the world. Some say that by saving Noah and his family, and by creating the rainbow, the story also symbolises God's love for mankind.
What did noah bring on to the Ark?
Noah brought on to the Ark, his wife, his three sons and their wives, plus:
- two of each sort of animal into the Ark - cattle, fowl and every living thing (Genesis 6:19-22), or
- seven of each clean animal, but only two of each unclean animal (Genesis 7:1-5).
The reason for this difference is that there are actually two different Flood accounts woven together, so that unless read carefully they seem to be just one account.
The 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.
Did god tell Noah that it would rain 40 days and 40 nights?
God sent the rain in order to destroy all creation that was not in the ark.
What mountain did Noah land the ark?
It has been believed even in modern times that some of the ark's remains are on Mount Ararat. But probably the original ark rotted away. The remains found may be those of a shrine honoring the ark.
