Arca de noé
A arca de Noé é história de salvação e fidelidade. Deus instruiu Noé a construir a arca para salvar sua família e os animais do dilúvio — exemplo supremo de obediência e fé.
And God said to Noah, "An end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth has been full of violence from their presence; and behold, I am destroying them with the earth. Make an ark of gopher-wood for yourself; you make rooms within the Ark, and you have covered it from inside and from outside with pitch; and this [is] how you do it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the Ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height; you make a window for the Ark, and you finish it to a cubit from above; and you put the opening of the Ark in its side; you make it [with] lower, second, and third [stories].
And YHWH says to Noah, "Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in this generation;
And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood; from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground, they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah. And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.
and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.
And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth; and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.
And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;
And the waters return from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of one hundred and fifty days. And the Ark rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he made, and he sends forth the raven, and it goes out, going out and turning back until the drying of the waters from off the earth. And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground, and the dove has not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turns back to him, to the Ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he puts out his hand, and takes her, and brings her in to him, into the Ark. And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark; and the dove comes to him at evening, and behold, an olive leaf [is] torn off in her mouth; and Noah knows that the waters have been lightened from off the earth. And he stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.
And it comes to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turns aside the covering of the Ark, and looks, and behold, the face of the ground has been dried.
And God speaks to Noah, saying, "Go out from the Ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you; every living thing that [is] with you, of all flesh, among bird, and among livestock, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with you; and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth."
And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, "And I, behold, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you, and with every living creature which [is] with you, among bird, among livestock, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the Ark—to every beast of the earth. And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not cut off anymore by waters of a flood, and there is not a flood to destroy the earth anymore."
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, prepared an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and he became heir of the righteousness according to faith.
who sometime [ago] disobeyed when once the long-suffering of God waited, in [the] days of Noah—an ark being prepared—in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water, also an antitype to immersion which now saves you—not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to Heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to Him.
and as the days of Noah—so will also be the coming of the Son of Man; for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the Ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took all away, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two [men] will be in the field: one is received, and one is left; two [women] will be grinding in the mill: one is received, and one is left.
