Abstract:
The flood narratives in the Bible and the ancient Near East continue to attract scholarly attention from a variety of disciplines. This article incorporates recent research on ancient Near Eastern flood narratives into documentary examinations of Gen. 6-9. In doing so, important facets of the priestly flood account come to the fore, particularly the role of meat consumption. Meat-eating and animal consumption is then set in the trajectory of Second Temple Jewish retellings of the flood in Jubilees and 1 Enoch, showing the adaptation of this feature in reception history particularly in Jubilees 5.
