I posted yesterday about why the Old Testament uses The LORD as the name for God. If you are subscribed via email or follow The Master’s Table on Facebook you probably saw that but here is a link just in case.

The flood story takes place across three chapters. In Genesis 6, God gives Noah instructions to build the ark and Noah does according to all the LORD commands. In chapter 7 Noah and his family, with at least two of every animal enter the ark, and the flood comes. It rains for 40 days and 40 nights but the flood lasts much longer than that. That’s where we will leave our brave hero today but join us tomorrow for Genesis 8 and one of my favorite verses in the entire scripture.
