The Bible In Paintings: NOAH BUILDS AN ARK

[Phinneous]

If they lost you at “...darkness for 40 days” I was proposing an answer

[Hebrews 11:6]

It can rain without pitch-blackness, which is my understanding of the proposal.

They ‘multiply’..................

[null and void]

The Bible says Genesis 6:15-16 This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

Length, breadth and height. That's a box.

No mention of a bow, a keel, or a rudder. It's not meant to navigate, but to passively float.

You shall make a window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from the top

A window, navigating while only able to see in one direction, and that window is shuttered until the time to release the ravens and the dove. No bow, no stern no keel, it's designed to passively float.

It's a box.

Not just any box, but one whose ratios, 30:5:3, perform particularly well in a wave tank!

Extra Biblical, but I remember hearing that his neighbors ridiculed him for building such a large barn. A boat is built differently than a building. The would have notice curved beams for rib, and keel and ridiculed him for building a boat so very far from water.

Where did you find room enough for 1000 pcs.? Good for you.
Love jigsaw puzzles...

[Hebrews 11:6]

God was in complete charge of the ark during the flood. Noah trusted and submitted totally to Him--just as I did once-and-for-all on 10/14/77. I'm in Year 45, of ∞.

The narrow (closed) view is the broad way.
The broad (open) view is the narrow way [that few will find]:

The Midrash on Song of Songs (5:2) says: “Open up for me an opening like the eye of a needle and in turn I will enlarge it to be an opening through which wagons can enter.”

Let Me In

"And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: And Israel said...

Reverend Mother knew:

When the Lord closes a door. . .
. . .somewhere He opens a window:

"This they shall give"

Noah's Ark of rescue:

It's like Joseph in Egypt -- the unicorn isn't really dead, the Irish Rovers were just playing along with the established wisdom.

If people had read their history, they'd know that leprechauns were the little... cobblers known for their practical jokes. ;)

Building the Ark had to be quite a project. He didn’t have the pretty smooth planks shown in some of the paintings, nor did he have steel tools, nor did he have help (not mentioned in the Bible, anyway). He had to cut the trees down and into boards with at best a bronze saw. No wonder it took 150 years.

[Hebrews 11:6]

A question that intrigues me is whether and to what extent Noah employed people outside his family.

The dining room table!...........FYI, the puzzle came from Kohl's if you want to buy one, they have different Biblical scenes..............

Thank you......

I think people outside of his family probably made fun of him unmercifully. “Hey! Boat Boy! Oooohh - I think I felt a drop - better hurry it up!”
