This article discusses the literary structure of the flood account (1 En. 89:1b–9) in the Animal Apocalypse (1 En. 85–90). Since the Qumran Aramaic text of the story (4Q206 frags. 8 I and 9) has preserved a shorter text than that found in the ancient Ethiopic version, the study of the literary additions found therein is also undertaken. Although the Aramaic text of the flood account is not free from some redactional elaborations of the literary structure of the story, the literary additions in the Ethiopic version expand the shorter structure, especially in the first part of the account (strophes 2–4). The insertion of new cosmic elements into the story (heavenly roof and earthly enclosure) creates a well-circumscribed space where the punishment of humanity, sons of the Watchers and animals by the waters of the flood takes place (strophe 4). Thus, the Ethiopic longer recension of the flood account is far more distant from the shorter text of 4Q206. The last part of this study takes a closer look at the literary context of the flood story that closes the first part of the Animal Apocalypse (1 En. 85:3b–89:9) and preannounces its second section (1 En. 89:10–90:19) marred by the shedding of blood and violence between the nations and Israel.

Der Bundęsgedanke im Alten Testament ist nicht eindeutig; man kann das, was P berit nennt und dabei ais rein theologischen Begriff versteht, in einem fur P eigenen Sion ais Bund verstehen. KIares Beispiel dafür ist der Bundesschluss mit Noach in Gen 9, 1-l7. Das Dauern seines Heilswillens offenbart Gott dadurch, dass er das geschaffene Leben vor der Vernichtung rettet. Der Hensch und mit ihm alles Leben behalten trotz Sunde und Gericht den SchSpfungasegen und di Gottesebenbildlichkeit. Die Aufforderungen Gen 9, 4-6 sind weder Gebote noch Bundesbedingungen, sondern sie stellen eine paranetische Einfuhrung zum Bundesschluss dar. Der Bund selbst ist nach P eine bedingungslose Gabe, die Noach und alle zukunftigen Geschlechter der Menschheit für immer erhalten. Das von menschlichem Handeln unabhängige Bundeszeichen wird immer die gfittliche Zuwendung, Gnade und Treue verkunden.

The memory of a disastrous and vast deluge that took place in a very distant past appears in the texts of legends that originated in many civilizations and cultures. The biblical tradition, or rather traditions (pre-pastoral and pastoral), borrow numerous images and symbols from this heritage of mankind, so that within their own monotheistic theology the episode in the history of the early stage of mankind could be recorded. What in the Middle East mythologies and epics was ascribed to jealous gods’ whims, in Gen 6-9 is presented as the work of a just God, who rightly punishes the corrupted mankind for having destroyed His work of creation. In the biblical tradition also another theological motif appears that is completely missing from any ancient accounts of the deluge - the motif of God’s mercy and God's salutary interference into the history of the world and of man that aims at a revival of the universe and assumes the shape of a new work of creation. The present article tackles the issue of Gen 6-9 in a broad context of its relation to analogous Middle East traditions in order to show the origin, the process of editing as well as the literary and theological specificity of the biblical account of the Flood as completely as possible.

Even a cursory reading of Gen. 9:1-7 reveals a text of great richness and complexity. By his blessing, God favors Noah and his sons with a power that assures not only the numerical growth of the human population but also its diversification according to human families, languages, lands, nations, and genealogies. God’s blessing also delineates the separation between humans and animals. For the animals, this separation is ensured by the “fear and dread” they will experience when faced with human beings. On the human side, it is marked by dominion over the animal kingdom, extending even to the possibility of killing animals for food. In this way, the violence that was a cause of the cataclysm, and threatened human beings even after the Flood, finds a proper outlet for its destructive, chaotic power. This concession–the killing of animals for food-does not permit unrestricted violence in the sphere of human-animal relations, however. Rather, it is structured and controlled by ritual law, which clearly defines its limits. What seems like a body of purely ritual law concerning the relationship between humans and animals (Gen 9:4) actually becomes a passageway to the complexity of relationships between humans. In fact, proceeding from Gen. 9:4 to Gen. 9:5-6 a shift occurs from animal to human being, from animal blood to human blood, from the value of animals to the value of human lives. The most important transition occurs between the sphere of ritual and that of ethics. Through the metaphor of ritual law, the latent nature of death is revealed, and human beings are invited to discover truths about human society. This society can only be built according to the structure provided by ethics, based on the truth that “in his own image God created humankind” (Gen. 9:6). In a deep sense, this ritual law opens out into the sphere of human society and interpersonal relationships, pointing to the realm of ethics.

Nawet pobieżna lektura Rdz 9,1-7 odsłania niezwykłą złożoność i ogromne bogactwo tekstu. Poprzez swoje błogosławieństwo płodności Bóg obdarza Noego i jego synów skuteczną mocą, która zapewnia nie tylko liczebny wzrost ludzkości, ale również jej dywersyfikację według kryterium szczepów, języków, krajów i narodów. Boże błogosławieństwo wyznacza jasną granicę między człowiekiem i światem zwierząt. Ze strony zwierząt granicę tę stanowi lęk i bojaźń, które zwierzęta mają odczuwać w stosunku do człowieka. Ze strony człowieka granicę tę wyznacza panowanie nad światem zwierząt, panowanie, które zakłada również możliwość zabijania zwierząt w celach spożywczych. W ten sposób potęga przemocy, która doprowadziła już ludzkość na skraj unicestwienia i wciąż zagraża człowiekowi, zostaje skanalizowana. Pozwolenie na ubój zwierząt nie jest jednak jednoznaczne z niekontrolowaną erupcją chaotycznych sił przemocy w sferę relacji między człowiekiem a zwierzętami. Przemoc ta zostaje ograniczona przez jasne reguły prawa o charakterze rytualnym. To prawo o charakterze, wydawałoby się, czysto rytualnym, które odnosi się do relacji między człowiekiem i zwierzętami (9,4) otwiera drogę w stronę złożonego systemu odniesień międzyludzkich. W rzeczywistości pomiędzy 9,4 i 9,5-6 dokonuje się przejście od zagadnień dotyczących traktowania zwierząt do problemów czysto ludzkich, od krwi zwierząt do krwi człowieka, od wartości życia zwierzęcia do wartości ludzkiego życia. Najistotniejsze jednak, jak się wydaje, jest przejście między sferą obrzędu i sferą etyki. Poprzez metaforę prawa rytualnego zostaje odsłonięta ukryta natura śmierci, a człowiek jest zaproszony do odkrywania prawdy dotyczącej ludzkiej społeczności. Społeczność ta może być budowana tylko w oparciu o strukturę etyczną zbudowaną na fundamencie prawdy, że „Bóg uczynił człowieka na swój własny obraz” (Rdz 9,6).

This article contains new suggestions for interpreting and translating the story of Noah’s Ark in Genesis regarding the building material of the ark as well as its dimensions. According to the author of the article, the dimensions of the ark given in the book of Genesis are too large to have been built by a team of several people within seven days. Since the description of the ark’s construction was probably taken from the older Epic of Gilgamesh, this article attempts to determine its dimensions based on Sumerian and Akkadian texts as well as Babylonian mathematics.

Artykuł zawiera nowe propozycje interpretacji i przekładu opowiadania o arce Noego zawartego w Księdze Rodzaju dotyczące budulca arki, a także jej wymiarów. Zdaniem autora artykułu wymiary arki podane w Księdze Rodzaju są zbyt duże, by kilkuosobowy zespół mógł ją zbudować w ciągu 7 dni. Ponieważ opis budowy arki autor biblijny zaczerpnął najprawdopodobniej ze starszego Eposu o Gilgameszu, w artykule podjęto próbę ustalenia jej wymiarów w oparciu o teksty sumeryjskie i akadyjskie oraz matematykę babilońską.
