6. The Ark and the Flood
The flood begins;
Cataclysm for 40 days;
Flood for 150 days;
The ark runs aground;
Visible peaks of the mountains;
Noach sends a crow;
Noach sends a dove;
The dove and the leaf;
The dove does not return;
The dry land appears;
The ark anchors.

Avraham
Avram (Avraham) was born in Ur of the Chaldees in 1975
B.C. when his father Terah was 130 years old. At the age of
200 Terah decides to move his family, which includes his
grandson Lot, his son Abram and his wife Sarai (Sarah), to
Haran (Genesis 11:31). Terah dies in Haran five years later.
Abram, now 75 years old, leaves Haran and takes the family to
the land of Canaan (the land of promise - Hebrews 11:9) in
obedience to God's command:
"Now HASHEM had said to Avram: 'Get out of your country,
from your family and from your father's house, to a land that
I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless
you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who
curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be
blessed.'" (BERESHIT 12:1-3, NKJV throughout).
33. THE PUNISHMENT• 23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
• 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
• 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the
inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
• 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar
of salt.
• 27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he
stood before the LORD:
• 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the
land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went
up as the smoke of a furnace.
BERESHIT 19:23-28

41. In the Bible
15-Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning
incense to other gods, along with all the women who were
present—a large assembly—and all the people living in Lower
and Upper Egypt, said to Jeremiah, 16 “We will not listen to the
message you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD! 17 We
will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn
incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink
offerings to her just as we and our ancestors, our kings and
our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of
Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and were well
off and suffered no harm.18 But ever since we stopped burning
incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink
offerings to her, we have had nothing and have been perishing
by sword and famine. Jeremiah 15-18

43. Worshipping Tammuz
13 And He said to me, “Turn again, and you will see greater
abominations that they are doing.” 14 So He brought me to
the door of the north gate of the LORD’s house; and to my
dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then He said to me, “Have you seen this, O son of man?
Turn again, you will see greater abominations than
these.” 16 So He brought me into the inner court of
the LORD’s house; and there, at the door of the temple of
the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about
twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of
the LORD and their faces toward the east, and they were
worshiping the sun toward the east.
Ezekiel 8:13-16
