I magine the excitement onboard Noah s ark when that awesome vessel grounded itself after being afloat for so long. Yet, despite the assured jubilation of the crew, we re told that seventy-four days passed from the time the ark came to rest until Noah saw the tops of mountains.
Scripture is clear and very detailed in the account of the great deluge.
In fact, the details are what seem odd. This is where my search for the legendary vessel of antiquity begins in the detailed pages of Genesis. Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
