The Noah Song God Looked Down, Saw the Land Things Were Not As God Had Planned Japheth, Shem and Ham, They Worked Very Hard: Built the Ark in Their Back Yard The Noah Song God looked down, saw the land Things were not as God had planned Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard: built the ark in their back yard. God said: "Noah, build a boat, make it large, then let it float." Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their back yard. Noah asked, " Why do that?" God said, "It's where things are at!" Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their back yard. Soon the ark, it took shape: men and women came to gape. Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their back yard. What they saw, made them smile, "Noah's crazy by a mile!" Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their back yard. This big ark, it won't float: this is no place for a boat. Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their back yard. Then one day, rain came down: rain, more rain, flooding the town. Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their back yard. All aboard, two by two, lion, tiger, kangaroo. Japheth, Shem and Ham, they worked very hard Built the ark in their backyard. "Thank you. God," Noah said, "Now it's safe to go to bed." Japheth, Shem and Ham, you can have a rest The ark you built is just the best! Norman E Brookes Tune: This Old Man With Heart and Voice – Norman E. Brookes and Jan Chamberlin .

  • Memory Verse: “Bring Two of Every Living Thing Into the Ark.” Genesis 6:19
    Noah’s Ark Memory Verse: “Bring two of every living thing into the ark.” Genesis 6:19 Story: 9 Here is the story of Noah. Noah was a godly man. He was without blame among the people of his time. He walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons. Their names were Shem, Ham and Japheth. 11 The earth was very sinful in God’s eyes. It was full of mean and harmful acts. 14 “So make yourself an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms in it. Cover it with tar inside and out. 17 “I am going to bring a flood on the earth. It will destroy all life under the sky. It will destroy every living creature that breathes. Everything on earth will die. 18 “But I will make my covenant with you. You will enter the ark. Your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives will enter it with you. 19 “Bring two of every living thing into the ark. Bring male and female of them into it. They will be kept alive with you. 21 “Take every kind of food that you will need. Store it away. It will be food for you and for them.” 22 Noah did everything exactly as God commanded him. 1 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark with your whole family. I know that you are a godly man among the people of today. 4 “Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights.

  • 1 Genesis 10-‐11 Study ID#12ID1337 Alright, Shall We Open Our Bibles
    Genesis 10-11 Study ID#12ID1337 Alright, shall we open our Bibles tonight to Genesis 10. If you're just joining us on Wednesday, you're only nine chapters behind. So you can catch up, all of those are online, they are in video, they are on audio. We are working on translating all of our studies online into Spanish. It'll take awhile, but it's being done. We are also transcribing every study so that you can have a written copy of all that's said. You won't have to worry about notes. It'll all be there, the Scriptures will be there. So that's also in the process. It'll take awhile, but that's the goal and the direction we're heading. So you can keep that in your prayers. Tonight we want to continue in our in-depth study of this book of beginnings, the book of Genesis, and we've seen a lot if you've been with us. We looked at the beginning of the earth, and the beginning of the universe, and the beginning of mankind, and the origin of marriage, and the beginning of the family, and the beginning of sacrifice and worship, and the beginning of the gospel message, way back there in Chapter 3, verse 15, when the LORD promised One who would come that would crush the head of the serpent, preached in advance. We've gone from creation to the fall, from the curse to its conseQuences. We watched Abel and then Cain in a very ungodly line that God doesn't track very far.

  • Noah Aboard the Ark… 10) Strange, We Haven’T Seen Another Boat for Weeks
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY GENESIS 7-10 Here are the Top 10 statements uttered by Noah aboard the Ark… 10) Strange, we haven’t seen another boat for weeks. 9) If only I had brought along more rhino litter. 8) I never want to sleep in a waterbed again. 7) Fish for supper – again? 6) Does anyone have more Dramamine? 5) What? You don’t have film to photograph the rainbow? 4) Honey, please stop saying, “Into each life a little rain must fall.” 3) How can I fish with just two worms? 2) God, are you sure I don’t need to keep the termites in a tin can? 1) And as Noah exited the Ark, he slapped the back of his neck and mumbled, “I should’ve killed those lousy mosquitoes while I had the chance!” In the first six chapters of Genesis God goes from good to grieved. After His creation “God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.” But by chapter 6, the world was so wicked God was grieved He had made man – and the only way for God to save us was to destroy the earth and start over… And a man named Noah “found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Noah was told to build a boat – an Ark - then gather his wife, his three sons, their wives, and two of every kind of [1 animal on the earth. Noah was obedient… Which is where we pick it up tonight, chapter 7, “Then the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.” What a moving scene… When it’s time to board the Ark, God doesn’t tell Noah to go onto the ark, but to “come into the ark” – the implication is that God is onboard waiting for Noah.

  • Noah's Wife and Heterosexual Incestuous
    Judaica Ukrainica I (2012), 29–46 No Name WomaN: Noah’s Wife aNd heterosexual iNcestuous relatioNs iN GeNesis 9:18–29 corinne e. Blackmer Southern Connecticut State University [email protected] [Noah’s wife] was a nameless woman, and so at home among all those who were never found and never missed, who were uncommemorated, whose deaths were not remarked, nor their begettings1. I. The terse language and riddling innuendo of Gen 9:18–29, which narrates how Noah comes to curse Canaan, the son of Ham, has engaged the inter­ pretive energies of readers since the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud spe­ culated that Ham had castrated his father2. The language of this narrative, bristling with obscure phrases, loud hints of dreadful sexual transgression, and pious cover ups, has often left subsequent interpreters sensing that the story has meanings that the narrator declines to delineate. Indeed, the only thing that remains clear is that Gen 9:18–29 functions as an etiological myth to justify the permanent subordination of the tribes of Canaan. Canaan commits an un­ speakable sexual crime against Noah’s family that results in the subsequent physical displacement and sweeping rejection of the customs of the Canaanite peoples. Indeed, Israel’s secure possession of the Promised Land is predicated on repudiating the cultural institutions of the preceding Canaanites. Whatever the larger and associated issues, however, interpretive positions have gener­ 30 Corinne E. BLACKMER ally revolved around two broad questions. What was the nature of Ham’s of­ fense, such that when he “saw his father’s nakedness” and told his brothers, Shem and Japheth, it merited the terrible curse of permanent servitude Noah pronounced over him3? Second, what was the rationale for the punishment of Canaan and why, if Ham committed the crime, would his son Canaan suffer the penalty instead? Exegetical traditions have identified the deed for which Noah curses Ca­ naan either as voyeurism, castration, or homosexual paternal incest.

  • Introduction
    Introduction When the Khazar ruler Joseph wrote his response to Hasdai ibn Shaprut, a dig- nitary of the Caliph of Córdoba Abd Al-Rahman (912–961), in the mid-tenth century, he could have hardly imagined the approaching end of the Khazar Khaganate, and probably to his own rule too. The king of Togarmah (the khagan-bek?),1 Joseph, described Khazaria as a flourishing state, whose rulers governed over numerous peoples and tribes, a state that was capable of stop- ping the Rus’ and the other enemies of the Arab Caliphate from devastating all of its lands.2 Joseph’s description of the Khazar Khaganate from the mid-tenth century is not accepted by most historians. At the same time, Joseph’s letter in its unabridged and abridged edition, together with the Cambridge Document, are the only authentic Khazar written sources that exist today. This requires greater caution in accepting or denying the authenticity of the information they contain. We should ask ourselves: why does the Khazar ruler’s view of his own coun- try differ so much from those of most modern scientists? Did he want to depict Khazaria as a powerful nation—and a kind of a defender of the Caliphate at that—on purpose, in order to seek help from the Muslim countries3 (although it is unclear how the Córdoba Umayyads could have helped Khazaria), or are the described territorial possessions an expression of his claims?4 And what if, ultimately, the solution to the posed questions does not lie in Joseph’s letter, but in the modern view of Khazaria and the basis on which it is established? This leads to the issue of the reasons why the Khazar Khaganate gradually lost its influence and power.

  • OLD TESTAMENT Bible Story
    OLD TESTAMENT Bible Story STORY TITLE: Noah Builds a Boat BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 6:9 - 8:22 KEY POINT: God protects His people COLORING PAGE: Noah's Ark (x6) ACTIVITY: Rockin' Ark; Two-by-Two; Rainbow of Promise Genesis 6:9 - 8:22 Noah Pleases God This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. The Ark Prepared And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.

Firstly, the story is not found within the Quranic text. Secondly, it was generally accepted that slavery was not linked to color but was a substitute for execution following defeat in warfare. Most importantly, scholars refuted the idea that blackness could be consid- ered a curse due to a number of early Muslim heroes being described as black.

  • Seven Mountains to Aratta
    Seven Mountains to Aratta Searching for Noah's Ark in Iran B.J. Corbin Copyright ©2014 by B.J. Corbin. All rights reserved. 1st Edition Last edited: August 30, 2015 Website: www.bjcorbin.com ​ Follow-up book to The Explorers of Ararat: And the Search for Noah’s Ark by B.J. ​ ​ Corbin and Rex Geissler available at www.noahsarksearch.com. ​ ​ Introduction (draft) The basic premise of the book is this... could there be a relationship between the Biblical "mountains of Ararat" as the landing site of Noah's Ark and the mythical mountain of Aratta as described in ancient Sumerian literature? Both the Biblical Flood mentioned in Genesis chapters 6-8 and The Epic of Gilgamesh in tablet 11 (and other ​ Sumerian texts), seem to be drawing from the same historical flood event. Probable Noah’s Ark landing sites were initially filtered by targeting "holy mountains" in Turkey and Iran. The thinking here is that something as important and significant as where Noah's Ark landed and human civilization started (again) would permeate throughout history. Almost every ancient culture maintains a flood legend. In Turkey, both Ararat and Cudi are considered holy mountains. Generally, Christians hold Mount Ararat in Turkey as the traditional landing site of Noah's Ark, while Muslims adhering to the Koran believe that Mount Cudi (pronounced Judi in Turkish) in southern Turkey is the location where Noah's Ark landed. In Iran, both Damavand and Alvand are considered holy mountains. Comparing the geography of the 4 holy mountains, Alvand best fits the description in Genesis 11:2 of people moving “from the east” into Shinar, if one ​ ​ ​ ​ supports that definition of the verse.
