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 Elohim said unto Noach, The ketz (end) of kol basar is come before Me; for ha’aretz is filled with chamas because of them; and, hineni, I will destroy them with ha’aretz. Make thee a tevah (ark) of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the tevah (ark), and shalt coat it within and without with tar. And this is how thou shalt build it: the length of the tevah (ark) shall be three hundred cubits, the width of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A roof shalt thou make to the tevah (ark), and thou shalt finish it to a cubit from the top; and the petach of the tevah (ark) shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third decks shalt thou make it.
And Hashem said unto Noach, Come thou and all thy bais into the tevah (ark); for thee have I found tzaddik before Me in dor hazeh.
And Noach entered in, and his banim, and his isha, and nashim of his banim with him, into the tevah (ark), because of the waters of the mabbul. Of behemah hatehorah, and of behemah that are not tehorah, and of haoph, and of every thing that creepeth upon ha’adamah, There went in shnayim shnayim unto Noach into the tevah (ark), the zachar and the nekevah, as Elohim had commanded Noach.
And it came to pass after shivat hayamim, that the waters of the mabbul were upon ha’aretz.
And they that went in, went in zachar and nekevah of kol basar, as Elohim had commanded him; then Hashem shut him in.
And the mabbul was arba’im yom upon ha’aretz; and the waters increased, and lifted up the tevah (ark), and it rose above ha’aretz. And the waters rose, and were increased greatly upon ha’aretz; and the tevah (ark) floated upon the face of the waters.
And every living creature was wiped out which was upon the p’nei haadamah, both Adam, and Behemah, and the Remes, and the Oph HaShomayim; and they were wiped out from ha’aretz: and Noach only remained alive, and they that were with him in the tevah (ark).
And the waters receded from on ha’aretz continually; and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. And the tevah (ark) rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
And it came to pass at the end of arba’im yom, that Noach opened the chalon (window) of the tevah (ark) which he had made; And he sent forth the orev (raven), which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off ha’aretz. Also he sent forth a yonah (dove) from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the adamah; But the yonah found no manoach (place of rest) for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the tevah, for the waters were on the p’nei kol ha’aretz; then he reached forth his yad, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the tevah (ark). And he waited yet another shivat yamim; and again he sent forth the yonah out of the tevah (ark); And the yonah returned to him in the erev; and, hinei, in her beak was a zayit (olive) leaf freshly plucked; so Noach had da’as that the mayim were abated from off ha’aretz. And he waited yet another shivat yamim; and sent forth the yonah; which returned not unto him again.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the mayim were dried up from off ha’aretz; and Noach removed the mikhseh (covering) of the tevah (ark), and looked, and, hinei, the surface of the adamah was dry.
And Elohim spoke unto Noach, saying, Go forth of the tevah (ark), thou, and thy isha, and thy banim, and the nashim of thy banim with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of kol basar, both of bird, and of behemah, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon ha’aretz; that they may multiply abundantly on ha’aretz, and be fruitful, and increase upon ha’aretz.
And Elohim spoke unto Noach, and to his banim with him, saying, And I, hineni, I establish My brit (covenant) with you, and with your zera after you; And with kol nefesh that is with you, of the bird, of the behemah, and of every animal of ha’aretz with you; from kol yotzei hatevah (all that go out of the ark), to every creature of ha’aretz. And I will establish My brit (covenant) with you, neither shall kol basar yikaret (be cut off, violently killed) any more by the waters of the mabbul; neither shall there be any more mabbul l’shacheit (to destroy) ha’aretz.
I do set My keshet (bow) in the anan (cloud), and it shall be for an ot brit between Me and ha’aretz.
By Emunah Noach, having been warned about the things not yet visible to the eye of flesh, and being an ish of yirat Shomayim, built the Teva (Ark) for the Geulah of the Beis HaNoach. By his Emunah he condemned the Olam Hazeh and he became the yoresh (heir) of the Tzedek Hashem that is credited to Emunah.
To ones without mishma’at (obedience) back then when the savlanut (patience) of Hashem was waiting, in the days of Noach, while the Teva (Ark) was being prepared, in which a few, that is shemoneh nefashot (eight souls), were delivered through that mabbulʼs mikveh mayim; And Moshiachʼs tevilah in the mikveh mayim, which this mabbul prefigures, now delivers you, not by means of the removal of filth from the basar, but through the hitchaiy’vut (pledge) of a clean matzpun toward Hashem, through the Techiyas HaMoshiach Yehoshua, Who is at the right hand of Hashem, having gone into Shomayim, with malachim and rashuyot (authorities) and gevurot under his feet.
For as in the days of Noach, thus will be the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of the Bar Enosh. For as they were in those days before HaMabbul (the Flood), eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noach entered the Tevah, and they did not have daas until HaMabbul came and took away everything — thus also will be the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of the Bar Enosh. Then two men will be in the field, one is snatched away, and one is left behind (not retained). Two women are grinding in the mill house, one is snatched away, one is left behind.
