I have read the chapter 1-9. This is the
beginning of Bible, whose content is very familiar to us. Chapter 1 is simply
talking about what the God do in the first sixth day. He created everything
except human. In chapter 2, God was creating human and a garden in Eden. Also
he took one of his ribs and uses that rib to make a woman. The man and woman do
not have any feeling of ashamed. There was the famous story about Adam and Eve
in chapter 3. The serpent asked Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil. Eve shared the fruit with Adam. They knew good and
evil. However, they was been punished by God. Chapter 4 is talking about Cain
killed his brother Abel because of jealousy. Therefore Cain became a fugitive
and a wanderer. But he would not be kills because of what the God said. Chapter
5 is really boring but very important. This chapter only tell us the list of
descendant of Adam. We can know from this chapter that there are hundreds of
people in the world and it would become more and more. This will be a bedding
of the next chapters. Chapter 7 is the reason of why God wants to kill human
beings. There are a lot of wars because of human beings’ desire. So He asked
Noah who is a righteous man to help him. And Noah did what God said. In chapter
is the whole story of God destroyed the world and Noah made the ark to save the
every species. Chapter 8 is the dove flying to ark and tell Noah the water is
subsided from the earth which means they can come back and make a new world. Chapter
9 is a story Noah’s family make the earth live. There are another small story
in this chapter: Canaan’s father Ham saw his father Noah’s nakedness in inadvertently.
However, Canaan become a slave of Noah‘s other sons.
It took me sometimes
to read those 9 chapters. Though this is a Bible, and there are many things
that I cannot agree. For example, I do not know why God punished Adam and Eve.
I do not think people have curious and want to do something what others are not
agree is wrong. Adan and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, the only change has happened to them is that they began to know
shame. I think it is great for them to know shame. I do not know why God are
angry but I have come out an idea. The God might afraid that human know good
and evil, because that’s the only way to distinguish God and normal people
except the super powers. He was afraid that he was not special.
Also there are another thing that I cannot understand. Why Noah ask Canaan to be a slave in case of his father’s fault. Whereas I still do not think Canaan’s father Ham has any fault. He was saw Noah’s nakedness in accident. Noah drunk and lay uncovered and there must a person is going to see his nakedness. That person may not be Ham next may be is his brother. So I think the fault root is Noah himself. And I think it is amazing that Canaan should be punished only because he is the Hem’s son? I can really not understand the strange logic.
