Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for September 29, 2010

Technically speaking, Noah was instructed to take enough food along on board the Ark to take care of Noah PLUS Noah’s family - PLUS all of the animals!

Genesis 6:12-22

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

God called Noah on His iAmPhone, so He did speak technically.

Can you imagine the “smell” on that Ark! After all it had to be one HUMONGOUS boat… and there must have been a few “CUBITS” deep of dung in the hold.!

JAD came back?

” Noah go collect all the animals in the world by two’s ” WHHHAAATTT………..

I won’t go to your church to read the comics

please don’t come to a comic site and preach

deal?

well, at least they still have a leg to stand on.

hot wings will be on the menu tonight.. except they might need another miracle of the loaves and fishes

hey, why only genius chapter 6? why not just cut and paste the entire bible into the go comics comments section. haysoos loves you, this I know…..

Thank Lois, you must be tired after all that typing!

Ummm Nelly…Nelly dear…Nelly darling….Lois was just posting that to show that Noah was instructed to bring food on the ark. No need for a snide remark.

Nelly I got a chuckle from that one.

I was on the ark, and I can attest to the fact that the first 50 cubits were designated for food storage and the last 50 were partitioned into restrooms. The part in the middle was really, really crowded.

Nelly–too true! A single verse showing that Noah was told to pack food would be one thing, but 11 verses is definitely sermonizing.

Good one, ElDO!
