Genesis 7-9

The story of Noah continued today with the flood coming and then God's covenant. This is a classic story that most people are familiar with to some degree. So much so that many cultures have a flood story in their mythology to explain things. 

One thing stuck out to me in reading this. After the story we are used to there is a brief account of Noah becoming drunk and naked. His sons (or grandsons) come in and cover him up while he is passed out. When he awakes he is very upset by this and curses them. I am going to have to do some research on culture and what the significance is but it struck me as odd. We have this beautiful story of how wonderful Noah is and how he is good and then a story of his shame (or his families depending on culture) I will make sure to include notes on this in future writings.
