Hebrew Bible assignment: Part 2

For class on Wednesday/Thursday, read chapters 5-9 in Genesis. Type up (12 pt., serif) responses to these two prompts:

1. What questions do you have for the authors of these stories? What seems strange, unexplained, or confusing to you?

2. Going from our conversation about the first assignment: What do you think each story is about? That is, what idea or "moral" should I take from each story? Chapter 5 isn't a "story," but what do you think is an important idea an audience would take from that chapter? The other chapters form two separate stories: Noah and the Flood; the children of Noah.
