Genesis flood narrative
The Genesis flood narrative makes up chapters 6–9 in the Book of Genesis, in the Bible.〔 Considered as one of many flood myths found in human cultures, the narrative recounts God's intent to return the Earth to its pre-creation state of watery chaos by flooding the Earth because of humanity's misdeeds and then remake it using the microcosm of Noah's ark. Thus, the flood was no ordinary overflow but a reversal of creation. The narrative discusses the evil of mankind that moved God to destroy the world by the way of the flood, the preparation of the ark for certain animals, Noah, and his family, and God's guarantee (the Noahic Covenant) for the continued existence of life under the promise that he would never send another such flood.
Although some religious groups believe the story to be literally true, others consider it to be allegorical. Scholarly consensus since the 19th century has been that the story cannot be literally true, so the ark story is generally considered to be legend.〔〔Ginzberg, Louis, 1909.
