Questions:

1. How many days spent when they inside the arc?

Forty days. Noah entered the ark in his six hundredth year, and on the 17th day of the
second month of that year "the fountains of the Great Deep burst apart and the floodgates
of heaven broke open" and rain fell for forty days and forty nights until the highest
mountains were covered 15 cubits, and all earth-based life perished .

2. What the significance of number forty (40) in the Bible?

The number 40 shows up often in the Bible. Because 40 appears so often in contexts
dealing with judgment or testing, many scholars understand it to be the number of
“probation” or “trial.” “Forty days” means “forty days,” but it does seem that God has
chosen this number to help emphasize times of trouble and hardship. In the
Hebrew Bible, forty is often used for time periods, forty days or forty years, which separate
"two distinct epochs". Rain fell for "forty days and forty nights" during the Flood (Genesis
7:4). This period of years represents the time it takes for a new generation to arise
(Numbers 32:13). Here are just a few examples of how the number 40 features
prominently in the Bible and what it may mean. Moses, Elijah and Jesus fasted in the
desert for 40 days each. The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years. Ezekiel
laid on his right side for 40 days to “bear the iniquity” of Judea’s sins. Three kings
reigned for 40 years each: Saul, David and Solomon. Goliath taunted Israel for 40
days before David defeated him. God destroyed every living thing on Earth by
flooding it for 40 days.
3. Who are the watchers according to the Bible? Are they real or unreal?

The watchers have been regarded as holy angels or celestial beings, or God’s
messenger. (Daniel 4:23) mentions a single divine watcher from the holy aspect who
communicates with the king and delivers holy orders. The watchers therefore are holy
beings having descended from the celestial planet from heaven to earth. In the Book of
Enoch, the watchers are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over the humans. They
soon begin to lust for human women and, at the prodding of their leader Samyaza, defect
en masse to illicitly instruct humanity and procreate among them. The offspring of these
unions are the Nephilim, savage giants who pillage the earth and endanger humanity.
The watchers are bound "in the valleys of the Earth" until Judgment Day (Jude verse 6
says, "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.")
They are very purposeful and determined to transport their messages or signals from God
to the mortal beings on planet Earth. They also deliver important messages to the king.
The Book of Enoch however describes these watchers as a group of angels sent to
protect the divine creations of God on planet Earth. The book narrates their story when
ten watchers rebelled together by marrying the ‘daughters of men’; thus forging ahead
against God’s great desire and wishes.

The book of Enoch also lists leaders of the 200 fallen angels who married and
commenced in unnatural union with human women, and who taught forbidden knowledge.
Some are also listed in Book of Raziel (Sefer Raziel HaMalakh), the Zohar, and Jubilees
 Araqiel (also Arakiel, Araqael, Araciel, Arqael, Sarquael, Arkiel, Arkas) taught humans
the signs of the earth. However, in the Sibylline Oracles, Araqiel is referred to not as
a fallen angel, or watcher, but as one of the five angels who lead the souls of humans
to judgment, the other four being Ramiel, Uriel, Samael, and Azazel.
 Armaros (also Amaros) in Enoch I taught humanity the resolving of enchantments.
 Azazel taught humans to make knives, swords, shields, and how to devise ornaments
and cosmetics.
 Gadreel (or Gader'el) taught the art of cosmetics, the use of weapons and killing
blows.
 Baraqel (Baraqiel) taught astrology.
 Bezaliel mentioned in Enoch I, left out of most translations because of damaged
manuscripts and problematic transmission of the text.
 Chazaqiel (sometimes Ezeqeel or Cambriel) taught humans the signs of
the clouds (meteorology).
 Kokabiel (also Kakabel, Kochbiel, Kokbiel, Kabaiel, and Kochab), In the Book of
Raziel he is a high-ranking, holy angel. In Enoch I, he is a fallen watcher, resident of
the nether realms, and commands 365,000 surrogate spirits to do his bidding. Among
other duties, he instructs his fellows in astrology.
 Penemue "taught mankind the art of writing with ink and paper," and taught "the
children of men the bitter and the sweet and the secrets of wisdom." (I Enoch 69.8)
 Sariel (also Suriel) taught humankind about the courses of the moon (at one time
regarded as forbidden knowledge).
 Samyaza (also Shemyazaz, Shamazya, Semiaza, Shemhazi, Semyaza and
Amezyarak) is one of the leaders of the fall from heaven in Vocabulaire de l'
Angelologie.
 Shamsiel, once a guardian of Eden as stated in the Zohar, served as one of the two
chief aides to the archangel Uriel (the other aide being Hasdiel) when Uriel bore his
standard into battle, and is the head of 365 legions of angels and also crowns prayers,
accompanying them to the 5th heaven. In Jubilees, he is referred to as one of the
Watchers. He is a fallen angel who teaches the signs of the sun.
 Yeqon or Jeqon (Hebrew: ‫יָקּום‬, romanized: Yaqum, lit. 'he shall rise') was the
ringleader who first tempted the other Watchers into having sexual relations with
humans.[13] His accomplices were Asbeel, Gadreel, Penemue, and Kasdaye (or
Kasadya), who were all identified as individual "satans".

4. Which situations are real and unreal in the Bible which all about Noah? Explain.

1. Noah wasn’t distant from God. In Noah’s film, Noah is a tortured soul who senses
through a dream that the mysterious “Creator” plans to destroy the world with a flood. But in
Genesis 6-8, much of the account involves direct communication from God to Noah (see 6:13;
7:1; 8:15). Noah was God’s close friend, and he understood Him.

2. Noah didn’t drink hallucinogenic tea to hear God’s directions. In the film, Noah visits
his grandfather, Methuselah, who helps him understand that a global catastrophe is coming.
Genesis 6 says God revealed this plan directly to Noah, yet in movie version, Methuselah
serves Noah some dark tea to help him hear the Creator’s voice. Nobody in the Bible ever
had to something to hear from God, and Noah certainly never visited a shaman.

3. Noah’s sons weren’t without wives on the ark. In the movie version, only one of Noah’s
sons, Shem, has a wife. In the Genesis account, God tells Noah: “You shall enter the ark you
and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you” (Gen. 6:18).
4. There were no stowaways on the ark. The movie adds drama to Noah by having the evil
warlord Tubal-Cain sneak on board the ark and hide in the shadows near sleeping bears and
goats. He then attempts to kill Noah with the help of Noah’s son Ham—who is angry that his
dad didn’t arrange to find him a wife before the rain started.

5. Noah didn’t get help from giant rock creatures when he built the ark. In Noah, the
giants, called “watchers,” chop down the wood for the massive ark and defend it from an
invading army. All this made for some great digital effects, but the Bible says God cast these
disobedient angels into hell (2 Pet. 2:4), not to earth, and they certainly weren’t sent here to
help mankind.

6. Noah was not a deranged killer bent on stopping his family from reproducing. The
second half of Noah was the worst part. After the flood begins, the man God uses to save all
animals and humans from destruction decides God doesn’t want the human race to survive.
He becomes a psychopath and threatens to kill his daughter-in-law’s child when she gives
birth. The biblical Noah would never have tried to prevent repopulation. Noah understood he
and his family had been commissioned to replenish the earth (Gen. 9:1).

7. The descendants of Adam did not treat the skin of a serpent as a family heirloom.
Centuries ago, some Jewish mystics taught that the God of Genesis was really a loser and
that Satan was a better god. The subtle implication is that Noah needed Satan’s help, not
God’s. At the end of the flood story in Genesis, Noah gathers his family around the altar for
worship, and they enter into a covenant with Him. But in the movie, just before the rainbow
appears, Noah wraps the snakeskin around his arm and blesses his family with it.

5. In the Bible, what did they do after the flood?

After the flood, the Bible says that Noah became a husbandman and he planted a
vineyard. He drank wine made from this vineyard, and got drunk; and lay "uncovered"
within his tent. The waters took quite a while to recede. While a new landscape was being
formed beneath him, Noah made plans to disembark. He sent out birds to see if there was
any dry land. Roughly a year after the Flood began, the earth was ready. Noah built an
altar and made an offering to the Lord after leaving the Ark. God blessed Noah and his
sons and told them to repopulate and fill the earth. Then the Lord gave some instructions
that permitted man to eat meat, but He gave a strong warning against killing people. God
established a covenant with man and the living creatures to never again flood the earth.
He put the rainbow in the heavens as a sign of this covenant. The rainbow is a beautiful
reminder that God cares for us and keeps His promises.
