Righteous/blameless
The ark wasn’t shaped like a fast boat but like a large box for this reason.
Stability/safety
What two birds did Noah send out to test for dry land?
Raven and dove
Noah sent out birds to test for land. Why not just open the door and check himself?
It wasn’t safe yet/birds could travel farther/safer way to test conditions
Put these in order: God makes a covenant • Noah builds an altar • Family exits the ark • Ground becomes dry
Ground becomes dry → Family exits the ark → Noah builds an altar → God makes a covenant
Instead of destroying the world immediately, what did God instruct Noah to build first?
The ark
What were the ark's measurements?
– Length 300 cubits, width 50 cubits, height 30 cubit
Why was it important that every animal came as both male and female instead of just many random animals?
So they could reproduce and rebuild their species after the flood
The dove returning with an olive leaf told Noah something important. What exactly did it prove about the earth’s condition?
Plants/trees were growing again/land was reappearing/waters were receding

Raven sent → Dove returns with nothing → Dove returns with olive leaf → Dove does not return
Why did God choose to save Noah’s family specifically?
Because of Noah’s faith and obedience/righteousness
Why would a large box-shaped structure survive a flood better than a small boat?
More stable, less likely to tip over
If Noah had forgotten to bring enough food for the animals, what chain of problems could happen that would affect life after the flood?
Animals could die → species lost → ecosystem/food chain wouldn’t recover → life couldn’t fully repopulate
(accept: they wouldn’t survive or reproduce)
Put these in order:
Ark rests on the mountains • Rain begins • Birds are sent out • Animals enter the ark • Waters begin to go down
Animals enter the ark → Rain begins → Waters begin to go down → Ark rests on the mountains → Birds are sent out
