TORAH WISDOM
***************************************************************************************************
Parsha Noach
This commentary was written by Dr. David Kraemer of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America
Read the Noah story-the whole thing, from the very end of Genesis 5 and not just from the beginning of the parashah-and you will immediately sense that there is a problem. Why are there so many repetitions, tensions, and outright contradictions? Why are we told twice about Noah's offspring (5:32 and 6:10)? Why does the story offer two explanations for God's decision to destroy all creatures, removing them from the face of the earth-one explanation relating to the transgression of the divine/human divide and the wickedness of the human heart (6:1-7), and the other relating to human violence (6:11-12)? And why, in almost a single breath, does the Torah contradict its own representation of God's command to bring animals onto the ark, first requiring two of every species (6:19) and then requiring seven of each pure species and only two of each impure species (7:2-3)?
