Oops Of the Day

Noah and His Sons Built the Ark.

Genesis 5:32; Genesis 6:14-18; Genesis 11:10

OOPS: As soon as God told Noah how to build the ark, he and his sons got to work building it while their wives planted gardens to keep their families fed.

FACT: Noah’s sons were not even born yet. The flood occurred 120 years later (Genesis 6:3) Noah was 500 years old when began to build the ark (Genesis 5:32). Shem begat his first son when he was 100 years old, “2 years after the flood ” (Genesis 11:10).  So, Noah built on the ark for probably 20 years while his sons were growing up and finding wives to marry.
