Noah’s Ark in the Bible

The story of Noah’s Ark is one of the best-known and most loved stories from the Bible. Here is an excerpt, which describes the episode depicted in this artwork:

And he sent forth the dove, to see whether the waters had abated from upon the surface of the earth. But the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot; so it returned to him to the ark because there was water upon the entire surface of the earth; so he stretched forth his hand and took it, and he brought it to him to the ark. And he waited again another seven days, and he again sent forth the dove from the ark. And the dove returned to him at eventide, and behold it had plucked an olive leaf in its mouth; so Noah knew that the water had abated from upon the earth. – Genesis Ch 2

I originally made this painting for our son’s bedroom, shortly after he was born. The original painting still hangs there in his room, even though he’s a bit older now!

You can learn much more about all the Torah Parshot at the very excellent and extensive Chabad site here.
