I loved growing up with many animals and I thought of myself as a little Noah boy. He is the tenth and last of the Patriarchs before the “flood” and the stories as followed by the curse of Canaan. Although the bible does not say where Noah if from, we can trace him back to 3000 BC and his first claim to fame was his part in the great flood as mentioned in the book of Genesis. His first known location was noted after the flood and ending up resting on the mountains of Ararat, located in present-day Turkey. Noah was also can be noted in the 1st Chronicles, Isaiah, Ezekiel, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the book of Hebrews, and last but not least in the 1st and 2nd Epistles of Peter.(3) His role as the last man standing with God left on earth. He was considered to be the most “blameless” man at the time with a world saturated with sin. You can find accounts of Noah continually reading, "Noah did everything just as God commanded." This illustrated Noah’s obedience to God. Therefore, God chose Noah to be the shipwright and captain of the historical ark, carrying two of all living creatures, both male and female, seven pairs of all the clean animals, along with every kind of food to be stored for the animals and his family(4) (Genesis 6).

But, out of anywhere else in the world, there is only one place that God stakes His claim as property ownership. That place is Israel. As God states, “The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers" (Leviticus 25:23) Israel can be first referenced in the book of Genesis dating since the Torah. “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspringc I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him” (Genesis 12:7). And in (Genesis 13:15) “All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.” Also in (Genesis 15:18) “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadie of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.” According to the Torah, God promised the land to the three Patriarchs of the Jewish people. ”He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors” (Deuteronomy 30:5). “But if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name” (Nehemiah 1:9). On the basis of scripture, the period of the three Patriarchs have been placed in the early second millennium BC, and the first Kingdom of Israel was established
