Flood, the. According to Gen. 6: 5–9: 17, God brought a ‘flood of waters’ upon the earth ‘to destroy all flesh’ because of the wickedness of the human race, only
Noah and his family, with specimens of each species of animal life, being preserved in the
Ark to repeople the earth. Parallel flood stories are found in Mesopotamian sources, including the
Gilgamesh Epics, and there is archaeological evidence of such floods.
