Shalom and welcome to Team D Bible Study! Noah and his family, Bereshit/Genesis 7, is in the safety of the ark under protective custody with the animals all having the Breath of Life within them. Noah builds the ark, and the animals are gathered to him both the clean and unclean in their numbers and kind. Keep in mind only eight people are saved from that generation. Noah is now six hundred years, and judgement came to that generation in the second month of that year with waters covering the entire Eretz. The Elohim of Creation has had enough, and only a remnant made it through. This event is Food for thought for our generation.

There are many variations between the Septuagint and Masoretic text. One such variation is found in Genesis 1: 11. The day the flood started is a difference of ten days between the two text. Most of the commentary reviewed focused on the when the year begins and then pivots into the flood narrative. Commentary can be found on Bible Hub and Study Light.
Was all life Extinguished?
Was everything destroyed upon the earth, except for the occupants of the ark, as a result of the flood? The easy answer is yes, but we have to look carefully at the answer. The view is that the flood destroyed everything, and gave Noah and his family a fresh start on the earth. Then we need to account for the Giants and every other human/animal variation that was recorded in the scriptures after the flood:
Emerging from the underground

Living underground: Hypogeum

In some passages of scripture, there are differences between the Masoretic and Septuagint. One of those contrast is the time of births, deaths and events occurring. For the Team D bible study timelines would be maintained for the Masoretic and Septuagint text. Please click here to access the timeline for each text used in the presentation
