The Tower of Babel

Nimrod the mighty hunter was Noah’s great grandson and the leader of his family. They all spoke the same language. Nimrod decided to build a great city called Babel on the flat plains of Shinar for his family. To show his strength and power he wanted the tower to reach as high as heaven.


He lay awake at night thinking about his tower. The problem was that there were not enough stones nearby to build with and anyway stones were uneven. The tower would fall over if he built it too high.


He had an idea! Instead of using round stones, he would make flat bricks, drying them in a fire until they were hard and strong. With a good foundation he could build higher than anyone had ever done!


Everyone worked together building the tower. The bricks were held together with tar and the tower grew higher and higher. It was going to be the tallest tower on earth.


God saw Nimrod’s pride and knew that now people could work out how to do anything they dreamed to do without trusting God at all. God decided to do something about it.


God worked a miracle. People suddenly began to speak with new words in different languages. The workers couldn't understand what they were saying and got annoyed.


After a while groups of families who spoke the same way left Babel together to find their own places to live. Different languages and ways of living spread all over the world.

Noah and the Ark

Noah was a man who did what was right and obeyed God. He had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.


However everyone else was disobeying God. People were treating each other very badly.


God saw that the people He had created had become very wicked and violent.


God told Noah He was going to put an end to this wickedness by sending a flood to cover the earth. But Noah and his family would be spared.


Noah was given instructions to build a big ark out of wood and cover it in waterproof pitch. It was to be 450ft (135 m) long, 75ft (23m) wide and 45ft (14m) high. It would have three decks divided into rooms and a roof with a gap underneath for air to get in. It would have one door on the side.


At once, Noah and his sons started to build the huge box shaped boat.


The wicked people around wondered what Noah and his sons were doing.


When the ark was ready, God told Noah the flood would be coming in 7 days’ time. Noah, his three sons and their wives were told to take their possessions aboard. They stored food for the animals coming aboard too.


Seven pairs of each clean animal and bird, one male the other female, were put into the ark. Two of every unclean animal were also taken on board. (Unclean animals were those such as lizards, moles, pigs, owls, mice, ferrets and ravens.


God then closed the door of the ark and the rain began to fall. For 40 days it rained heavily; rivers burst their banks, and flood waters got higher and higher.


As the waters rose, the ark began to float.


The waters kept rising until they covered all the high mountains. Every living creature on land outside the ark was wiped out.


The water flooded the earth for 150 days but those on board the ark were kept safe.


As the flood water went down the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.


After 40 days Noah sent out a raven but it found nowhere to land.


Then he sent out a dove. It flew around looking for land.


But it could find nowhere to perch and returned to the ark. Noah reached out his hand and brought it back into the ark.


Seven days later he sent out the dove again.


Later that evening it returned with a freshly plucked leaf. Noah knew the water was receding.


A week later he sent out the dove a third time but it did not return. Noah knew that the dove had found land.


Noah removed the roof of the ark and saw the land was drying out. Two months later the land was dry enough for Noah, his family and the animals to leave the ark.


Noah built an altar to the Lord and made sacrifices to God.


God was pleased with the offering and promised never again to destroy all living creatures. ‘As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.’


God put a rainbow in the sky. God then told Noah, ‘This rainbow is the sign of my promise never to flood the whole earth again.’

Cain and Abel

Adam and Eve had a baby boy who they named Cain. Later, Eve gave birth to another son who was named Abel.


When they grew up, Cain cultivated the ground while Abel became a shepherd.


When it was time for the harvest, Cain presented some of his crops as a gift to the Lord. Abel also brought a gift, the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock.


The Lord accepted the sacrifice Abel gave, but He did not accept the gift Cain gave. This made Cain very angry and dejected.


‘Why are you so angry?’ the Lord asked Cain. ‘You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.’


One day Cain suggested to his brother, ‘Let’s go out into the fields.’


While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother, Abel, and killed him


Afterward the Lord asked Cain, ‘Where is your brother? Where is Abel?’


‘I don’t know,’ Cain responded. ‘Am I my brother’s guardian?’ ‘What have you done?’ God replied. ‘Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground! Now you are cursed and banished. The ground will no longer yield good crops for you, no matter how hard you work! From now on you will be a homeless wanderer on the earth.’


‘My punishment is too great to bear!’ Cain uttered. ‘You have banished me and made me a homeless wanderer. Anyone who finds me will kill me!’ ‘No,’ the Lord replied. ‘If anyone murders you their punishment will be seven times greater.’


The Lord put a mark on Cain to warn anyone who might try to kill him. So Cain left the Lord’s presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
