Allotments 4 All

plans to build an Ark....... if we have anymore rain we will need one.   :o  :o  The back garden and pond have melted into one and haven't got a clue where all the wild life from the pond is  ???  Other half is off to find pairs of animals tomorrow ............just in case you understand.  ;)

Aw Mimi what a shame.  Your fish will be ok in the Pond.  When we had our flood few years back, the fish dived to the bottom while the pond overflowed into the patio!!!  Its amazing how quickly things get back to normal.  Hope your rains stops soon.

:-* :-* :-* :-*

Mimi I got a couple of kids and 2 guinea Pigs if that is any help?? ;D  ;D
In fact blow that, take me and the OH and leave the teenagers behind! ;D  ;D  ;D

As I said, the measurements have to be in cubits. Oh and if you read it properly most of the animals were in SEVENS not pairs, so get sheep rustling!

There seem to have been two versions of the story, one with animals in sevens, the other with twos, which were put together to make the final version, without much editing. So in Genesis 7:2-3 it's seven pairs of 'clean' animals (ie kosher species they could eat), seven pairs of the birds, and a single pair of 'unclean' animals. Then in verses 8-9, it's two of everything.

In any case, your above ark will have to be 300 cubits long, 50 wide and 30 high. It needs a roof, finished to 'a cubit above (above what?), a door in its side, and lower, second and third decks. It has to be made of gopher wood. If you don't get it right, maybe God won't protect you when he opens the trapdoors of heaven and lets loose the fountainsof the great deep. And yes, they really did believe the sky was a solid sheet of something or other, with water piled above it, and trapdoors to let the rain through.

i went on holiday in a barge once, that was quite big ;D, dont know how many cubits though

My oh is building a two man canoe at the moment .......... Wont get many animals in that... just oh and teenage son!

Ark building has been banned, as it might upset people from other religions. ???

Who cares..............not me .... :-X I only wanted to keep dry ;D

QuoteArk building has been banned, as it might upset people from other religions

Doubt it - Noah and his ark are bona fide according to Judaism, Christianity & Islam. I don't think Buddhists or Hindus would care less.

Now, where's that pedantic but not serious smiley?
