Noach
Bereshiyt/Genesis 69 Bereshiyt 69
(Transliterated Hebrew) Elah toledot Noach Noach
iysh tzaddiyq tamiym hayah bedorotayn
et-haElohiym hithalekh-Noach. Bereshiyt 69
(ISR) This is the genealogy of Noah?. Noah? was a
righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah?
walked with Elohim.
8
Perfect in His Generations
Bereshiyt 69 (ISR) This is the genealogy of
Noah?. Noah? was a righteous man, perfect in his
generations. Noah? walked with Elohim.

• Key Points/questions
• Two opinions about perfect in his generations.
• Noah was righteous even in, and despite his
  corrupt generation.
• Noah was only called righteous compared to those
  of his wicked generation. Had he lived in
  Abrahams time, he would have been insignificant.

9
Intent of the Flood
Bereshiyt 617 (ISR) And see, I Myself am
bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy all
flesh in which is the breath of life from under
the heavens all that is on the earth is to
die. Reason for the flood are given in the
previous Torah portion Bereshiyt/Genesis 6 1-8

• Key Points/questions
• Who were the Nephilim?
• Are the Nephilim the same as the sons of
  Elohim?
• Does the text say that the sons of Elohim
  caused Yah to send the flood?
• Who did Yah intend to survive the flood?

10
Nephilim

• Main theories about the Nephilim and the sons of
  Elohim
• 1. They were the progeny of fallen angels who
  lusted after and had sex with human women.
• The sons of Elohim" are the male descendants of
  Seth, and that the "daughters of men" are the
  female descendants of Cain. Genesis 6 condemns
  intermarriage between believers and unbelievers.
• 3. Sons of elohim means sons of mighty ones,
  nobles, princes, judges or rulers. They were
  taking wives from the general population,
  whomever they chose. This is an example of
  powerful abusing the powerless.

11
Nephilim

• All other times that Nephilim appears are
  identical to Genesis 64 (without the extra yud).
• Bamidbar/Numbers 1333 (NASB) "There also we saw
  the Nephilim with extra yud (the sons of Anak
  are part of the Nephilim) and we became like
  grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in
  their sight."
• The additional yud in Numbers 1333 could
  indicate the word used there is originally
  Aramaic in origin, and from the Aramaic word
  naphiyl (giant) and not naphal (fall).

12
Naphiyl and Orion

• Key Points/questions
• The name "Orion"
• - Orion is a mighty hunter
• and a giant in Greek
• mythology Killed by
• Artemis (Diana), goddesss of the
• hunt.
• Derived from the Akkadian "Uru-
• Anna (light of heaven). Over time,
• Uru-Anna became..

Orion
13
NephiliymIranians?

• Key Points/questions
• . Uru-Anna became Aryan (the name ancient
  Persians called themselves)
• Aryan became the modern country called
  Iran.
• In Aramaic, Orion is known as naphiyl, the
  plural is nephiylin. Normalized into Hebrew,
  nephiylin becomes nephilim. (The first
  definition for naphiyl is giant).
• So, perhaps this means

In Jastrows Dictionary of the Targumim, the
Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic
Literature
14
NephiliymIranians?
Key Points/questions So, perhaps this
meansthat the Nephiylim in Bamidbar/Numbers
13 are fierce and powerful Persians Devarim/Deut
eronomy 92 (NASB) a people great and tall, the
sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you
have heard it said, 'Who can stand before the
sons of Anak?' In a traditional Armenian story,
a Persian noble named Anak assassinated the King
of Armenia leading to the subjugation of Armenia.
(Anak is called a close relative or sometimes the
brother of the Armenian king).
15
Called Nephilim Because.

• Key Points/questions
• Tradition says they were called Nephilim because
  they caused the downfall of the world.
• The Bible never actually says the Nephilim
  sinned.
• Nephilim may be the product of fallen angels and
  human wives. So says the book of Enoch, the book
  of Jubilees, the Genesis Apocryphon (DSS).
• Allusions to Nephilim as angelic descendants are
  found in Jude and the apocryphal books of Judith,
  Baruch, Sirach, 3 Maccabees and the Wisdom of
  Solomon.

16
Called Nephilim Because.

• Key Points/questions
• A difficulty with angels being sexually active
  might be found in the Messiahs remarks
• Matthew 2230 (CJB) For in the Resurrection,
  neither men nor women will marry rather, they
  will be like angels in heaven.
• But, then what did Paul mean by
• 1 Corinthians 1110 (NASB) Therefore the woman
  ought to have a symbol of authority on her head,
  because of the angels. ??

on the earth in those days, and also afterward,
when the sons of God came in to the daughters of
men, and they bore children to them. Those were
the mighty men who were of old, men of
renown. Numbers 13 33 (NASB) "There also we saw
the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the
Nephilim) and we became like grasshoppers in our
own sight, and so we were in their sight."

Clean and Unclean Animals
22
Clean and Unclean Animals
Read Genesis 71-3
Gen 71-3 (ISR) And ????  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. Of all the clean beasts take
with you seven pairs, a male and his female and
of the beasts that are unclean two, a male and
his female and of birds of the heavens seven
pairs, male and female, to keep offspring alive
on the face of all the earth.
Read Genesis 818-22
Gen 820 (ISR) And Noah? built an altar to ????,
and took of every clean beast and of every clean
bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
No unclean animals were offered to YHWH.
23
Clean and Unclean Animals
Read again Bereshiyt/Genesis 91-7
Bereshiyt/Genesis 93-4 3 "Every moving thing
that is alive shall be food for you I give all
to you, as I gave the green plant. 4 Only you
shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its
blood.

• Every green herb (KJV) is not given for
• food only those that are appropriate.
• Poison ivy is green, but it is not food.
• These words were given orally to Noah.
• Eating one of the two unclean animals
• aboard the Ark would violate to keep offspring
  alive on the face of all the earth.
• Humanity is made in the image of Elohim
  (Bershiyt 96).
• Does it make sense that things unacceptable to
  give to YHWH would be acceptable to
  humanity..even in Noahs time?

Poison ivy is not food
24
As I Gave the Green Plant

• Every green herb (KJV) is not given for food
  only those that are appropriate. Poison ivy is
  green, but it is not food.

Worldwide Flood
27
Worldwide Flood?
Read Genesis 711-24
Genesis 723 (NASB) Thus He blotted out every
living thing that was upon the face of the land,
from man to animals to creeping things and to
birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from
the earth and only Noah was left, together with
those that were with him in the ark.
Fast forward to
Genesis 914-15 (NASB) 14 "It shall come about,
when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow
will be seen in the cloud, 15 and I will
remember My covenant, which is between Me and you
and every living creature of all flesh and never
again shall the water become a flood to destroy
all flesh.
If the flood was only local, didnt Katrina
prove that the rainbow covenant is broken?
28
Worldwide Flood?
What did the Messiah think?
Matthew 2437-39 (NASB) 37 "For the coming of
the Son of Man will be just like the days of
Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day that Noah
entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand
until the flood came and took them all away so
will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Is the coming of the Son of Man only local,
just like the days of Noah?

cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the
everlasting covenant between God and every living
creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

Shamefully Exposed
43
Shamefully Exposed
Bereshiyt 920-27 (CJB) 20 Noach, a farmer, was
the first to plant a vineyard. 21 He drank so
much of the wine that he got drunk and lay
uncovered in his tent. 22 Ham, the father of
Kena'an, saw his father shamefully exposed, went
out and told his two brothers. 23 Shem and Yefet
took a cloak, put it over both their shoulders,
and, walking backward, went in and covered their
naked father. Their faces were turned away, so
that they did not see their father lying there
shamefully exposed. 24 When Noach awoke from his
wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to
him. 25 He said, "Cursed be Kena'an he will be
a servant of servants to his brothers." 26 Then
he said, "Blessed be ADONAI, the God of Shem
Kena'an will be their servant. 27 May God
enlarge Yefet he will live in the tents of Shem,
but Kena'an will be their servant."
44
Shamefully Exposed
Bereshiyt 924 (CJB) 24 When Noach awoke from his
wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to
him. Questions/Comments What did Ham to do
Noah? And why did Canaan get the curse and not
Ham?? One explanation is that Canaan saw Noah
and ran to tell his father, who enjoyed seeing
his fathers dishevelment and drunkenness. One
reason given for Canaans curse is that YHWH had
already blessed Noah and his sons (Bereshiyt
91), and there cannot be a curse where a
blessing had already been given. (Similar to
Isaacs inability to change the blessing he
bestowed upon Jacob instead of upon Esau).
45
Abram and Sarai
46
Abram and Sarai

• Bereshiyt/ Genesis 1129-32 (NASB) 29 Abram and
  Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of
  Abram's wife was Sarai and the name of Nahor's
  wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the
  father of Milcah and Iscah. 30 Sarai was barren
  she had no child. 31 Terah took Abram his son,
  and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai
  his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife and
  they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans
  in order to enter the land of Canaan and they
  went as far as Haran, and settled there. 32 The
  days of Terah were two hundred and five years
  and Terah died in Haran.

47
Abram and Sarai
Questions/Comments According to the sages,
Iscah is Sarai. Iscah means one who looks
forth. The commentary says A woman has two
missions in life, the first from birth as an
individual, and the second, when she marries and
is elevated to a higher, joint mission with her
husband. Sarai/Sarah, the name indicating her
Abrahamitic mission, is used exclusively from the
time of her marriage.
48
Abram and Sarai
Questions/Comments The death of Terah.
According to the sages, the death of Terah is not
sequentially listed here. Terah died more than
60 years after Abram left Haran, according to
various verses. However, in one sense it is
accurately depicted Even while alive, the
wicked are called dead, and the righteous, even
when dead are called alive.
