Yeah he was.

HE WAS 950

DANG!!!!!!

Most of the old testament dudes get to be really old. Wait til you get to Moses.

LIKE NOT THAT OLD BUT.

here is what i'm taking away from this so far

Biblical people are old as hell XD

Methsuleh was ancient

1) i don't really know what firmament ACTUALLY means in the context of this text

2) cain was really fucking sassy and that's probably partially why god was like WHOA HOLD UP CAIN

pfft

i mean i don't blame him, cain literally backsassed god

I never thought of him as sassy

did not know that was where 'i don't know, im not x's keeper' came from

but you are totally right

3) i'm also confused as to how much time passed between noah starting the ark, noah getting on the ark, noah waiting on the ark, and noah getting off the ark

4) also not sure what happened to canaan? he saw SOMEONE'S dad naked and that was bad but idk if he saw noah naked or his dad naked

5) did noah just get off the ark and then sacrifice all those animals that he just let off the ark

To be fair, we're not sure if people in Biblical times counted years like we do now, and besides, oral tradition likes to exaggerate things, so who knows how many times that happened before it all got written.

YEAH i

m kind of wondering if it's a 'valjean was 60 and then 80 in the span of a year' thing

i wanna default and say he was on the arc for 40 days or weeks or years.

but i actually can't remember

yeah he was in the mid 3 digits wasn't he? like 500 or some shit

yeah it said like 40 days and 40 nights but then it started talking about like 150 DAYS LATER

He was on the ark for 40 days and 40 nihts.

and no he didn't sacrifice them because they had to repopulate the earth and shit.

OH SWEET I RETAINED CATHOLIC SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE.

what is going on in genesis 9 19-20

which bit is that again?

been years since I touched a Bible

If I had a Bible, I might be able to help, but alas. 8I

noah releases all the animals from the ark in 19

hold on lemme look it up.

...oh right, I forgot the internet is a thing that the Bible is probably on.

but then it says in 20 'and noah builded an altar unto the lord and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar'

"took of"

he took from them

Also what version of the Bible are you readin

g

king james

yeah i think that means like eggs and feathers or a small piece of flesh and stuff like that

OH

OK GOOD

took one sheep and sacrificed it etc

I WAS REALLY WORRIED HE LIKE SACRIFICED EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL

naaah

im also really interested in the etymology of the word woman here

but idk what the original word they used there in greek was

also gill is having us skip all the sections that are like

HERE ARE THE SONS OF X

XYZ HAD A B C D E

which is nice bc i started making a chart of who was whose kid and then realized i wasnt assigned those pages

oh Biblical family trees

not even Zeus's is so screwed up

after they talk about the offering it said god smelled it and it smelled sweet and i was like

Oh i guess that must be a Thing

im very excited about joseph tbh

and also about whenever moses happens bc of the prince of egypt

and the rugrats episode

rugrats is the reason i know abt passover

rugraaaats

basically this is a really cool class

that doesn't necessarily mean sweet like sugary but it smelled pleasant
