2 A Comparison of the Structure of the Main Flood Stories Plain Text = Structure in "normal order", Italic text = structural elements exist but have been rearranged in some manner J P Gilgamesh (Std version) Atrahasis Sumerian - Ziusudra The heroic exploits of Gilgamesh The work and rebellion of the and Enkidu which outwit and lesser gods I:1-150 spurn the goddess. A divine council convened and The death of Enkidu because gods decides to create humans I riled by their exploits. Creation of people from clay G. in grief searches for eternal life and god force after further exploits he seeks Role of people work ground U. the only human to gain Marriage and birth rituals eternal life instituted I: The population of the world I: Prior Narrative Creation of the world Gen 1 Creation of people from dust and breath of God Gen 1-2 Marriage instituted Role of people to work garden Expulsion from utopia Gen 3 Work becomes a burden Gen 3 The first murder Gen 4 The population of the world 4-5 Genealogies Gen 5 Immediately Preceding Story A divine decision to send a flood is made. introduced warned of the impending deluge and instructed to make a boat (other instructions may be given) Marriage of 'sons of God' 'Daughters of men' 1 The days of the heroes. Gen 6:1-4 God sees wickedness is grieved and decides on a flood 6:5-7 Noah is found righteous 6:8 Noah is found righteous 6:9 reprise: wickedness 6:11-12 God explains flood & reasons for it 6:13 Instructions for creating ark 6:13-16 Reprise intention to destroy6:17 Covenant to protect 6:18-20 Instructions to load food. 6:21 G with the help of U's ferryman crosses the waters of death to U He tells U his story and U warns him against seeking immortality G asks how U got eternal life, and U tells him a 'secret & mystery' The gods decided to send a Deluge U has already been introduced, U is told to listen Reed wall is addressed Instructions for building boat U seeks instructions and Ea answers on what to tell the people. "Noise" causes Enlil to attempt 3x to wipe out humanity by disease & famine. Enki instructs Atrahasis thus thwarting Enlil. II Divine Council convened II Decides on a flood II Gods fall out over this II A already introduced but std catch line here III:1-2 Already interceded to Enki A has dream, is told to listen III:15-19 Reed wall addressed III:20 Instructions for creating boat III:22-35 A rain of birds and fish Clock filled for 7 days A receives message Creation of people, animals, man's sad plight, no irrigation canals, no clothes, no fear of animals incl snakes 1-36 Goddess Nintur's plan to end human nomadism Failure of Nintur's plan Establishment of kingship, 1 st cities, worship List of antediluvian kings gods weep over creatures gods swear an oath Z a king and priest Z's piety Z praying sees oath taking He is called to the wall Is told of the decision 1 It is much debated whether Gen 6:1-4 is connected to the Flood story. For the moment the paper shall remain agnostic as to its origin and original intention. However from a final form literary perspective the passage is sandwiched between references to Noah in 5:28 and 6:8, which tips the balance towards its connectedness at this final stage ANE Structural Comparison.doc 2 05/08/2010
