On the one hand, the Tora states (7:12) that the Flood was constituted of forty days and nights of release of water from above and below. On the other hand, the Tora states (7:24) that the Flood was on the earth 150 days. The question is was any additional water released during the balance (110 days) of the Flood, or was all of the destruction due to only forty days of water being introduced from the depths and the heavens? 2. It seems to me that there are only two solutions: Ibn Ezra posits that additional water was added past the original forty days, while Wiesel and Cassuto do not think so, with the assuaging of the waters already beginning immediately after those first forty days. 3. Ibn Ezra: The waters increased Wiesel, Cassuto: The waters had risen 4. Ibn Ezra believes that this is the first time that no additional water was added to the world following the beginning of the Flood. 5. Although Beraishit 1 and the beginning of Beraishit 2 lists events that take place following man s Creation: בראשית פרק א )כו( ו י אמ ר א לקים נ ע ש ה אד ם ב צ ל מ נ ו כ ד מ ות נ ו ו י ר ד ו ב ד ג ת ה י ם וב ע וף ה ש מ י ם וב ב ה מ ה וב כ ל ה אר ץ וב כ ל ה ר מ ש ה ר מ ש ע ל ה אר ץ: )כז( ו י ב ר א א לקים א ת ה אד ם ב צ ל מ ו ב צ ל ם א לקים ב ר א א ת ו ז כ ר ונ ק ב ה ב ר א א ת ם: )כח( ו י ב ר ך א ת ם א לקים ו י אמ ר ל ה ם א לקים פ ר ו ור ב ו ומ ל א ו א ת ה אר ץ ו כ ב ש ה ור ד ו ב ד ג ת ה י ם וב ע וף ה ש מ י ם וב כ ל ח י ה ה ר מ ש ת ע ל ה אר ץ: )כט( ו י אמ ר א לקים הנ ה נ ת ת י ל כ ם א ת כ ל ע ש ב ז ר ע ז ר ע א ש ר ע ל פ נ י כ ל ה אר ץ ו א ת כ ל ה ע ץ א ש ר ב ו פ ר י ע ץ ז ר ע ז ר ע ל כ ם י ה י ה ל אכ ל ה: בראשית פרק ב 1

3 Beit. )כו( ול ש ת ג ם ה וא י ל ד ב ן ו י ק ר א א ת ש מ ו א נ וש אז ה וח ל ל ק ר א ב ש ם י ק ו ק: פ should have been mentioned in close proximity to the births of Kayin and Hevel (immediately following 4:2), or at the very least, right after Hevel s murder at the hands of Kayin (4:15) before discussing Kayin s own descendants (4:17-24). 7. RaShI and Ibn Ezra are advocates of the rule Ein Mukdam U Meuchar BaTora (the events in the Tora do not follow a chronological sequence.) This would allow for an interpretation of the plus perfect, i.e., the past perfect, this had already happened in the past. The Vav HaHipuch form of verbs frequently used in the Bible which take future tenses and turn them into past tenses would seem to reflect the Hebrew language s aversion to such an interpretation in the sense that past and future are blended together in single word forms, then it would be greatly confusing if we could not assume that at least the contents of the stories are being presented in chronological order. Ibn Ezra: How can there be forgetfulness with respect to HaShem that He has to Remember Noach? The remembrance of Noach s good deeds comes before HaShem at that particular moment. RaMBaN: a. (Essentially the same question that Ibn Ezra poses.) The Remembrance of Noach was due to the covenant that HaShem Entered into with this Tzaddik. b. Since Noach s family is also save, why doesn t the text state that HaShem Remembered them? They are included in the Memory of Noach. c. Why should HaShem Remember the animals in the Ark if they don t have the ability to make moral choices and therefore can t be judged as to whether or not they are worthy of being remembered? HaShem Remembered the purpose for Creating the world, which depended upon animals being part of that Creation. d. Why does He Decide at this particular point to remove the water and allow the inhabitants of the Ark to emerge? Because had they stayed any longer in the Ark, they would have died. e. Why aren t birds and fish included in the Remembrance? They are included in the Remembrance of the animals. Rabbeinu Bechaye: Why does the verse mention that HaShem Remembered both Noach and the animals? To demonstrate that HaShem s Divine Supervision Applies to all equally. Ibn Kaspi: How is it possible that the same Divine Supervision Applies equally to Noach and the animals? Logically, it does not and therefore the verse should not be interpreted in that manner. 3

4 ט) Gimel. Daled. Cassuto: (The same question asked by Ibn Ezra and RaMBaN.) God s Remembrance is to be understood as His Acting upon a Promise that He originally Made. In this case, He Promised to Save Noach from the Flood that He was Bringing to Destroy the inhabitants of the world, and He is now Acting upon that Promise to Make it come true. Ibn Kaspi is bothered by the ostensible implication that the word Ad somehow reflects the existence of some type of physical barrier that does not allow the subject of the sentence to proceed any further. But that is not the case in this particular verse, where the word Ad is an adverb defining the length of time or the phenomenon that would occur marking the end of the raven s sojourn outside of the Ark. Perhaps the Rabbis thought that once the text stated that Noach was aware of the fact that (א 1. the floodwaters had disappeared, then why didn t he take the initiative and leave the Ark without God s Commanding him to do so. Consequently they assume that there was some sort of assurance demanded by Noach before he and those with him would set foot on dry land. בראשית פרק ח )יג( ו י ה י ב אח ת ו ש ש מ א ות ש נ ה ב ר אש ון ב א ח ד ל ח ד ש ח ר ב ו ה מ י ם מ ע ל ה אר ץ ו י ס ר נ ח א ת מ כ ס ה ה תב ה ו י ר א ו ה נ ה ח ר ב ו פ נ י ה א ד מ ה: ) וב ח ד ש ה ש נ י ב ש ב ע ה ו ע ש ר ים י ום ל ח ד ש י ב ש ה ה אר ץ: ס )טו( ו י ד ב ר א לקם א ל נ ח ל אמ ר: )טז( צ א מ ן ה ת ב ה א ת ה ו א ש ת ך וב נ י ך ונ ש י ב נ י ך א ת ך: )יז( כל ה ח י ה א ש ר א ת ך מ כ ל ב ש ר ב ע וף וב ב ה מ ה וב כ ל ה ר מ ש ה ר מ ש ע ל ה אר ץ הוצא ה י צ א א ת ך ו ש ר צ ו ב אר ץ ופ ר ו ו ר ב ו ע ל ה אר ץ: Yeshayahu: The Midrash inferred from the verse in (ב ישעיהו פרק נד ) כ י מ י נ ח ז את ל י א ש ר נ ש ב ע ת י מ ע ב ר מ י נ ח ע וד ע ל ה אר ץ כ ן נ ש ב ע ת י מ ק צ ף ע ל י ך ומ ג ע ר ב ך: "For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee" that as long as there was the possibility that another Flood would be sent by God, Noach had no interest in disembarking from the Ark. The prospect of having children and flourishing, only to be wiped out by another devastating catastrophe, according to the Midrash, had no appeal for Noach. Similarly, the people have to be assured by HaShem that there will not be another farreaching destruction before they agree to return from Bavel: Yeshayahu 48: ישעיהו פרק מח די) 4

Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye: 'The LORD hath Redeemed His servant Jacob. And they thirsted not when He Led them through the deserts; He Caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He Cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.' There is no peace, Saith the LORD concerning the wicked." (Yitz Greenberg: Having children in a post-holocaust age is an act of courage, optimism. Bava Batra 60b And from the day that a Government has come into power which issues cruel decrees against us and forbids to us the observance of the Torah and the precepts and does not allow us to enter into the 'week of the son' (according to another version, 'the salvation of the son'), we ought by rights to bind ourselves not to marry and beget children, and the seed of Abraham our father would come to an end of itself. However, let Israel go their way: it is better that they should err in ignorance than presumptuously.) Although Noach was in effect the caretaker of the world, in the sense of the human and (ג animal species, he was only a surrogate for HaShem, Who, once the Flood was over and the water had receded, Wished to Resume His previous Position as the true Caretaker of the World. 2. The difference between the two Midrashim re Noach s offering sacrifices has to do with what gave him the idea. Beraishit Rabba posits that the catalyst was the extra Kosher animals that Noach had been Commanded to take onto the Ark. He deduced that there was some immediate special purpose for having specifically these animals available to him. Pirkei D Rabbi Eliezer asserts that the idea came to Noach because of feelings of gratitude towards God for having saved him from the Flood. Only after he was overcome with such feelings did he hit upon the idea of offering the extra Kosher animals as sacrifices. i.e., According to this Midrash, the sacrifice represents the attribute of Mesirat Nefesh, (א 3. readiness for self-sacrifice on the part of the individual who brings the sacrifice. Avraham, on the one hand, and Chanania, Mishael and Azarya on the other, apparently (ב shared similar attitudes with regard to the readiness for self-sacrifice, since they were 5

6 ready to be cast into a fiery furnace Avraham in the Midrashic descriptions of his encounter with Nimrod, and C., M. and A. who according to the book of Daniel are cast into the furnace upon Nevuchadnezzar s orders. Since so many generations separate these men, the Midrash refers to them as grandfather and grandsons. But by attaching this idea to Noach s sacrifices, the Midrash suggests that the potential for people like these descending from Noach justifies the preservation of mankind despite their serious transgressions. To say that Hashem Smells a goodly smell from the Korbanot is extremely (ג anthropomorphic. Consequently the verse is interpreted by the Midrash that this is a reference to a Divine Recognition that within the human species there are exceptional spiritual individuals who justify the preservation of the entire species. 6
