1
And it came to pass that all who did remain alive in the land were upon that ark: the righteous of the humans (Adam), and of the fowl, and of beasts, and of all the things which did creep upon the earth in righteousness.
2
And so it was that as the ark was upon the great waters, it was tossed about to and fro, and the life within began to fear exceedingly that this ark should be torn asunder, and that they too should not be spared.
3
¶ And it came to pass that Noah and Na’amah did pray unto Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator), saying: YHVH, be gracious unto us, spare us from this evil!
4
And so it was that a wind did pass over the ark, and the waters were still; the rain had ceased and did begin to shrink away.
5
¶ And it came to pass that Na’amah did send forth the raven and an ambassador to seek and return; and the raven did share his wisdom until the waters were dried up in that land.
6
And so it was that Na’amah did send forth the dove from Noah to test the ground, and she did return unto them for there was no place to rest her feet.
7
And it came to pass that in seven days, they did send out that dove again, and she did return an olive leaf unto them.
8
And so it was that seven days after this, YHVH Elohim did break the seal of the ark, and life did spring forth once more upon the land.
9
¶ And it came to pass that in the first year, the ark was a shelter for Noah and Na’amah and their family.
10
And so it was that on the twenty-seventh day of the second month of the second year after the unsealing of the ark that the people did leave the ark to begin to till the soil of that land.
11
¶ And it came to pass that the garments of skin which God made for Adam and his wife, when they went out of the garden, had been given to Seth after the death of Adam and Eve,
12
And so it was that the garments were passed down to Enoch, the son of Jared, and his wives, which is to say that the signs and tokens were passed down;
13
Yet the garments of Eden were kept in a box that those who knew them should make their own using the same markings which YHVH Elohim had taught to Adam and Eve.
14
¶ And it came to pass that when Enoch and his wives were taken up to Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (רואה רציה He Who did Fashion/Create the Light), they did give the garments of skin to Methuselah, their son.
15
And so it was that Noah and Na’amah did keep them; and they did bring them to the ark, and they were with them until they did go out of that ark.
16
And it came to pass that Ham did take that box with those garments from Noah his father and Na’amah his mother, and he did steal them and hid them from his brothers.
17
And so it was that the box was passed down, father to son, until they were given unto Nimrod.
18
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod became strong once he did put the garments upon himself, and YHVH did give him courage and strength:
19
And so it was that he became a mighty hunter in the land; yea, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he did offer a portion of the animals upon the altar before YHVH.
20
¶ And it came to pass that as Nimrod did strengthen himself, he did rise up from amongst his brethren, and he did fight the battles of his brethren against all their enemies round about.
21
And so it was that YHVH did deliver all the enemies of his brethren in his hands, and Ha’Elohim did prosper him, and he reigned upon that land;
22
Therefore, it was said in those days that when a man should usher forth any who had been trained in battle, he would say to them:
23
Even as Ha’Elohim did to Nimrod, who was a mighty hunter in the lands, and who did deliver his brethren from the hands of their enemies, so might Ha’Elohim strengthen us and deliver us this day.
24
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod, having conquered his enemies, all his brethren, together with those who knew him before, did make him king over them.
25
And so it was that Nimrod did set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings.
26
And it came to pass that after having conquered all his enemies around, he did advise with his counselors to build a city for his palace.
27
And so it was that they did find a place in the land to the East, and there they built a large city, and Nimrod called the name of the city that he built Shin’ar (שִׁנְעָר), for YHVH Elohim had vehemently shaken his enemies and destroyed them.
28
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod did dwell in Shin’ar, and he reigned securely, and he did subdue all his enemies, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom was very great.
29
And so it was that in his pride, Nimrod did turn away from YHVH Elohim, who is YHVH El Racham (םוּחר לא הוהי YHVH God of Lovingkindness), and his wife, Sammur Amat, did lead the people into iniquity.
30
And the people did worship Nimrod as a god over them, and they did bow down unto the elohim of man, gods of wood and stone made of their hands.
