Flood Narratives from the Fertile Crescent
HEBREW
(Monotheistic)
SUMERIAN
(Polytheistic)
From the Book of Genesis, Chapter 6,
the Hebrew story of the Great Flood
From the Epic of Gilgamesh
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on
the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto
them....
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in
the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts
of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented
the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart.
7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and
beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD… Noah
was a just man and perfect in his generations, and
Noah walked with God…
11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the
earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon
the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth.
13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come
before me; for the earth is filled with violence through
them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou
make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and
without…
17And, behold, I… bring a flood of waters upon the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life,
from under heaven; and every thing that is in the
earth shall die.
18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou
shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy
wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive
with thee; they shall be male and female.
Gilgamesh approaches Utnapishtim,
the immortal survivor of the Great
Flood. Utnapishtim relates the
following account:
In those days the world teemed,
the people multiplied, the world
bellowed like a wild bull, and the
great god was aroused by the
clamor. Enlil heard the clamor
and he said to the gods in council,
"The uproar of mankind is
intolerable and sleep is no longer
possible by reason of the babel."
So the gods agreed to exterminate
mankind.
Enlil did this, but Ea because of
his oath warned me in a dream.
He whispered their words to my
house of reeds, "Reed-house,
reed-house! Wall, O wall, hearken
reed-house, wall reflect; O man of
Shurrupak, son of Ubara-Tutu;
tear down your house and build a
boat, abandon possessions and
look for life, despise worldly
goods and save your soul alive.
Tear down your house, I say, and
build a boat. These are the
measurements… as you shall
build her: let hex beam equal her
length, let her deck be roofed like
the vault that covers the abyss;
then take up into the boat the
seed of all living creatures."

Fertile Crescent Flood Narratives

  • 1. Flood Narratives from the Fertile Crescent HEBREW (Monotheistic) SUMERIAN (Polytheistic) From the Book of Genesis, Chapter 6, the Hebrew story of the Great Flood From the Epic of Gilgamesh And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them.... And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD… Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God… 11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without… 17And, behold, I… bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Gilgamesh approaches Utnapishtim, the immortal survivor of the Great Flood. Utnapishtim relates the following account: In those days the world teemed, the people multiplied, the world bellowed like a wild bull, and the great god was aroused by the clamor. Enlil heard the clamor and he said to the gods in council, "The uproar of mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible by reason of the babel." So the gods agreed to exterminate mankind. Enlil did this, but Ea because of his oath warned me in a dream. He whispered their words to my house of reeds, "Reed-house, reed-house! Wall, O wall, hearken reed-house, wall reflect; O man of Shurrupak, son of Ubara-Tutu; tear down your house and build a boat, abandon possessions and look for life, despise worldly goods and save your soul alive. Tear down your house, I say, and build a boat. These are the measurements… as you shall build her: let hex beam equal her length, let her deck be roofed like the vault that covers the abyss; then take up into the boat the seed of all living creatures."
