Who took the animals on the ark?
According to one Midrash, it was God, or the angels, who gathered the animals and their food to the Ark. As no need existed to distinguish between clean and unclean animals before this time, the clean animals made themselves known by kneeling before Noah as they entered the Ark.
Who is Noah and what did he do?
Noah, also spelled Noe, the hero of the biblical Flood story in the Old Testament book of Genesis, the originator of vineyard cultivation, and, as the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the representative head of a Semitic genealogical line.
Who is Ham’s wife?
In the Book of Jubilees (160–150 BC), considered canon by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as well as Beta Israel, the names of the wives are given as: Emzara, wife of Noah; Sedeqetelebab, wife of Shem; Na’eltama’uk, wife of Ham; and Adataneses wife of Japheth.
How many animals did Noah have on his ark?
That brings our count up to a grand total of 3,858,920 animals aboard the ark—two of each species, except birds which number fourteen each.
Why did God destroy the animals on Noah’s Ark?
Regardless of how the animals became corrupted, God viewed them as part of creation that needed to be recreated. Another concern was Noah’s welfare. Perhaps the land animals were destroyed so that Noah and his family could live safely after exiting the ark.
What happened to the animals on the Ark of the Covenant?
In addition, sea life was not harmed. The destruction included land animals and birds. God had a plan to recreate. Just as God had created human and animal life in the beginning of time, so now He would recreate human and animal life. Genesis 8 closes with the animals leaving the ark at the beginning a new world.
Did sea creatures need the Ark to survive the flood?
The flood of water would drown them. Logically, animals that live in the water would not be affected by more water. Land animals and birds were selected to board the ark, but fish and sea creatures were not (Genesis 6:19-21; 7:2-4). This would seem to indicate that sea creatures did not need the ark in order to survive.
Why did God choose to recreate the Ark?
God chose to recreate using a limited number of animals, sparing only those land animals that He led to the ark. After the Flood, God provided for a safe coexistence between human and animal life.
