NOAH, BOOK OF

A pseudepigraphal writing composed by the beginning of the 2nd century b.c.e. Alluded to in Jub. 10:13; 21:10; T. Levi 2:3; 17:2 (one manuscript), the book survives only in summaries and remnants in Jubilees, 1 Enoch, 1QapGen ar, 4QMess ar, 1QNoah, and 4QAramaic N, C. It seems to have included accounts of the fall of the Watchers, the unnatural features of Noah at his birth, the assurances about his real father given by Enoch in Paradise, the Flood, his post-Flood sacrifice and covenant with God, and the division of the earth among his sons. The older designation for the book is the “Apocalypse of Noah.”

Bibliography. F. Garcia Martinez, Qumran and Apocalyptic. STDJ 9 (Leiden, 1992), 1-44.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
