Noach: Nations and Dominion

Noach: Nations and Dominion

 

A synopsis of Noach:

1. 
   
   People ( and animals) are bad ( chamath, some kind of greed?)


2. 
   
   Gd  brings a flood to wipe away the evil and saves the worthy Noach and his family




1. 
   
   perhaps the saved animals are the bestial equivalents of Noach and his family


3. 
   
   Gd makes a covenant with Noach's descendants




1. 
   
   clearly forbidding the killing of people and


2. 
   
   allowing the slaughter of animals




1. 
   
   possibly clarifying the error of Cain


3. 
   
   no mention of Cahmath and, thus no clarification of the issue




1. 
   
   unless the sum of the covenant is a restriction of Chamath


4. 
   
   Noach returns to agriculture




1. 
   
   His father had predicted that he would make agriculture better at his naming


2. 
   
   Noach plants a vineyard and gets drunk




1. 
   
   another example ( like the Tree of Knowledge) of drugs leading to problems through loosening of restraints




1. 
   
   N.B. the undoing of the tree of Knowledge ( he gets naked)


3. 
   
   Noach blesses and curses his sons setting one as dominant and one as servant




1. 
   
   I would have thought that this relationship is chamath, but I guess not from the story


5. 
   
   The Birth of the 70 nations




1. 
   
   spiced by the domination of Nimrod




1. 
   
   grandson of Ham




1. 
   
   the servant


2. 
   
   founder of Bavel


6. 
   
   The tower of Bavel (may also be a story of domination; great view; Big Brother: Goebels)




1. 
   
   another time


7. 
   
   The genealogy of Abraham




1. 
   
   people having children at an ever younger age until...Terach




1. 
   
   who is also in his way to Canaan!
