Genesis Chapters 7, 8 and 9:1-17: The Story of the Flood, and How Noah and his Family were Spared from God's Judgment

In this podcast episode, we read the story of the flood from an English translation of the Bible that is gender-accurate in these specific passages.  We learn that God sent a great flood to cover all the earth, when He saw that human beings had become bent on violence and murder.  In His mercy, God provided a means of escape for one righteous man and his family.  After the flood, God made a pledge not to ever again cover all the earth with water.  He also established a law that human beings may not take the life of another innocent person, because all of us--male and female--are made in God's image, and are members of the same human family.
