Noah and the Flood


In this story, Noah is the only one left that God still has faith in. Dissapointed in his people he sends a flood to wipe out the "disaster" he has created. He tells Noah to build an arc, "Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth" Once the flood is over, God sends a dove with an olive branch as his way of saying its over, and making a peace treaty.
