Genesis 7

After completing the construction of the ark, God commanded Noah to house pairs of all the animals of the earth within seven days. God instructed him to collect pairs of animals in groups of two or seven, according to their kind. At the end of the seven days, he and his family were to board the ark to escape the wrath of the waters.

Genesis 8

After the flood, God forced more consequences on humanity. Genesis, Chapter 8 details the actions of Noah and those animals and people who gathered with him on the ark. God set into motion a great wind to dry the water which was left over after the great flood. He stopped the rain, a process which took one hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 9

Genesis Chapter 9 covers the events that took place after Noah and his family survived the floods meant to wipe out the wicked people of earth. It also includes God’s promise to Noah that He would never flood the earth again.

Genesis 10

Genesis 10 explains the origin of our nations. It is a comprehensive narrative of how Noah’s family increased after the catastrophic flood.

In Chapter 14, Lot pitched his tents near Sodom upon arrival. We are given an account of the first war. The kings of corresponding cities on the plain of Jordan were invaded by four other Kings: Shinar, Ellasar, Elam, and King Tidal. This resulted in a revolution. The Kings served Chedorlaomer for 12 years before rebelling in the 13th year. King Chedorlaomer sought a victory. All the kings were invading from Mesopotamia.
