 1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
The verses complement the following excerpts in the Creation account:
Genesis 1:
  28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be …

Here are the particulars of God’s promise that he would never again “curse the ground because of man” or “destroy all living creatures”…
 22 “As long as the earth endures,
       seedtime and harvest,
       cold and heat,
       summer and winter,
       day and night
       will never cease.”
It is an interesting promise, because it reiterates God’s promises above, but it is not immediately clear how so.

“Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night,” are now conditional on the earth enduring.  Enduring what?  Well, the word translated “endures” is “yowm”.  As used, it refers to the remaining designated time of something.  In this case, for the time the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, etc., will never cease.  In …

 13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry. 
What are the dates in verses 13 and 14 above?  I can tell you what you what they’re not.  Verse 13 is not the date when the water had dried from the earth… it was the latest date at which the water dried from the earth.  And verse 14?  That is the latest date by which the earth was …

 13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
This is a good opportunity to point out an interesting pattern in the flood narrative.  In verse 13, cutoff date for when “the surface of the ground was dry.” It is followed by verse 14, where see cutoff date for when the “the earth was completely dry.”  In Hebrew, “ground” and “earth” are the same word we have been seeing …

In Genesis 8:6-7 - “Is the land dry?”, we saw that Noah used a raven, potentially a fan-tailed raven, to see whether the flooded land had dried.  It would seem that the fan-tailed raven’s habitat was almost exactly the sections of the Middle East and Africa that would have been impacted by a flood overflowed both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.  This doesn’t mean it rained all that way, just that it was effected enough for the raven to find no dry land 150 days after the floodwaters stopped flowing.  However, just because the land wasn’t dry does not mean the waters had not receded.  So, Noah changed …

 6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
Having spent time developing the argument that Noah built the ark within the mountains of Ararat, away from the general population that was to be destroyed, it starts to paint a picture of Noah’s thought process as he processes what to do after the ark lands.

One of the things that always confused me was why he sent out the birds.  After all, he knew the water outside the ark was going down.  Why wasn’t watching it good enough?  Well, …

21 Every living thing that moved on the earth perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
 24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
Now consider that in English, the phrase “the earth” usually refers to the planet, but the …

Well, if you stuck with this latest series, “Where was the ark?”, then you might have been expecting me to come up with a smoking a gun, and say precisely where the ark lay.  I am sorry, but I cannot do that.  However, I will close out this series with a summary of what I believe are reasonable requirements for the location of the ark, and then provide what is in my mind a likely possibility.

I have already laid out the Biblical evidence that I have for Noah’s ark being built somewhere in the mountains of Ararat.  But where?  Here are the features I would look for if I were Noah, wanting to a build an ark.
Away from the people
As …

In Genesis 7:18-20 - Where was the ark? (Part 4) - Dressing the Mountains of Ararat, we examined the word for “covered”.  What we found is that in Hebrew, the word for covered has the connotation of being dressed, or covered enough so that your “hollows” are not showing.  However, looking back, I see that I left something unaddressed.  Look back at Genesis 8, which I quoted…
3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the …

In Genesis 7:6-17 - Where was the ark? (Part 1) — The Earth and the Springs, we saw that Noah did not board the ark for the last time until after the rains began and the springs of the great deep had burst forth.  In my mind this suggests that Noah actually saw the springs, and was able to get in the ark without being swept away by the water.  In fact, according to scripture, **everyone** had the time they needed to board (key portions highlighted)…
 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day …
