“The ark, which was divided in
to three stories, was 300 cubits
long, 50 cubits broad, and 30
cubits high (or, allowing 21 inches
for a cubit, as Professor Perowne
does in Smith’s “Dictionary of the
Bible,” 525 feet long, 87 feet wide,
and 52 feet high...). Tiele, in his
commentary on Genesis, has
calculated that the cubic contents
were 3,600,000 feet...
In 1609 the Mennoite P. Han
sen, of Horn, in Holland, built a
vessel after the model of the ark,
and discovered that it would hold a
third more freight than ships built
in the usual way with the same
number of cubic feet. The ark was
not built for sailing but for
carrying freight.” Shaft-Herzog

Knowledge.

children in the family. It will bf
difficult'for them not to raise these
children. He may not be able tc
afford to send them to boarding
schools, and if he can, he will have
them in the home during
vacations. Some houses have at
least 14 visitors at a time. It is a
difficult issue. There are guilt
feelings and men have to live up to
their obligations. Therefore, there
are several family systems in one
home.
Marriages can work but it is
easier if the two people have a clear
understanding of the expectations
that they have of each other before
the marriage rather than during it.
There is nothing romantic about a
home full of dependent people
who regard you as inferior.

ds, and creeping things—all in
whose nostrils was the breath of
life—male and female were
brought into the ark. As to clean
beasts there was this exception:
seven pairs of all clean animals
were to be taken into the Ark.
Clean animals were those which
might be used for food and which
might be offered in sacrifice. For
the distinction made in the law of
Moses concerning clean and un
clean animals see Lev. 11; Deut.
14:3-20.
The Flood Skeptics deny the
fact of the flood, and claim it is
only a tradition. They tell us that
all nations have a tradition of a
great deluge. But the universality
of the tradition of a flood rather
proves that there must have been a
fact out of which these traditions
grew; otherwise, how do you ac
count for the fact that all nations
believe it occurred?
Who in the remote past could
have invented such a story and
given it such wide circulation?
What nations in the remote past
with such limited communication
with each other, and with much
fighting and enmity between each
other, would have accepted such a
story inviented by one of another
nation? Why should any one feel
that the story of the flood as
recorded in the Bible is incredible?
Even scientists bear witness that
the greater part of the earth at
some former time has been under
water.
“An important confirmation of
the Biblical record is furnished in
the traditions of other nations.
The most interesting of these ac
counts was found by George
Smith, among the Assyrian
cuneiform inscriptions of the
British Museum, which is much
more full than the account of
Berosus, and betrays a striking
coincidence with the record of
Genesis.
Fragments of three copies jof
this original account, dating from
660 8.C., are also preserved. They
belonged to the library of King
Asurbanipal. The ancient
Chaldean inscription of Smith is
assigned by this scholar to the
seventeenth century B.C. Sisit
(Hasisadra), an old Chaldean king,
takes the place of Xisuthros of
Berosus and the Noah of Genesis.
He describes the godlessness of the
world, the divine command to
build the ark, its construction, the
flood, the resting of the ark upon a
mountain, the dispatch of the bir
ds, including the raven, etc.
In these points the Chaldean ac-
counts agrees with the record of
Genesis. But there are certain dif
ferences which are very suggestive.
Like the other accounts, the
Chaldean ascribes the scene to a
locality connected with its own
special habitation, and brings it in
toclose relation with its national
origin.
The Biblical account is in these
respects more general, but, on the
other hand, alone gives the in
dications of time, month, day, and
year when it began, when it ended,
etc.; and these marks of time stand
in no relation whatever to the
feasts of the Jews. In these
omissions and additions we have a
strong pledge of the accuract of the
historian.” Schaff-Herzog.
What brought such as over
whelming of the waters? Torren
tial rains fell for a period of forty
days and nights—“the windows of
heaven were opened,” says the
writer. Os course this is a
figurative expression, used to in
dicate the excessive downpour, just
as we speak of a “cloudburst.”
In addition to this, “the foun
tains of the great deep were broked
up.” The “great deep” is the
ocean, and this expression can
mean nothing more nor less than
that there was a great upheaval in
the ocean causing its waters to rush
out over the land.
