Comparing Gilgamesh And God In Genesis
Objectively explain the similarities and differences between the gods in Gilgamesh and God in Genesis.
The Book of Genesis and The Epic of Gilgamesh has many similarities and differences. The stories are so similar that some people believe they are the same but just changed over time. There are speculations that the epic of Gilgamesh was written down first but we cannot be for certain. The Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religions all use this story in their holy books. The book of genesis could have very well have been written first or it was passed orally till someone wrote it down. So one story could have branched off and changed from one another or there could have been two floods. There are multiple possibilities to the origin of the stories. When people pass down stories orally things get changed from the original over a long period of time one could have changed the whole story. You can see the similarities of the stories that would make you think they were the same. Then when you break down the differences it makes it harder to believe that.

The first being there was a flood sent by the gods to destroy the inhabitant of the earth. Both of the stories take place in Mesopotamia. The gods in both books tell one person to get their family to build a ship and gather all the different types of animals because they were going to flood the earth. The gods did this in both books because they were angry with humans. In both of the stories the boat only contained one door. When the flooding was over the ships both landed on mountain tops. Noah and Utnapishtim both use birds to find out when the water had lowered enough to leave. Noah and Utnapishtim also both offered sacrifices to the gods after the flood and were both

    The Gods in Gilgamesh and the God in Genisis are not very different but the gods in Gilgamesh all control one thing for example Adad is the God of storm-, rain-, weather god. The God in Genisis is the god of everything. The Gods in Gilgamesh all rely on each other. The God in Genisis does not need to rely on anyone because he doesn`t just control one thing, he controls everything.…

    The epic of "Gilgamesh," the book of "Genesis" and Ovid’s "Metamorphoses" poem all have several similarities; some are the creation story, a story of a fall, and a flood. Among these similarities, there are also distinct differences. In terms of similarities, all three stories present the creation story of the world out of chaos. " Genesis" and "Metamorphoses" state that man was created on god's image and that’s when humans were first brought into life. On the other hand, looking at some differences, Adam and Eve were created by god in "Genesis".…

    The Epic of Gilgamesh had one of three Akkadian flood myths. The Sumerians also created their own story of a flood; where the biblical flood story, found in Genesis 9, has a lot of similarities. They are similar because they both had a global floodsent by god or gods which was done to control people. The gods contacted the hero and told him to build the ark. Both Arks were very large and contained different types of aminals. In the end the hero of course got too choose how it ended by releasing the animals, and the the hero sacrifsed the gods, who blessed…

    There are two main differences between Genesis and Babylonian stories. First, in Genesis, there is only one God whereas in Babylonian texts, there are different gods, and each god is specific for a different “reality”. Second, in Genesis, humans are created to dominate the earth and control the living system but in Babylonian texts, humans are created to carry gods’ jobs so that god is no longer required to work. Nevertheless there are more similarities than differences. Both texts are an explanation of cosmic begins, they explain the reality before the creation of the universe, like for example the mythological stories of the battles between gods. Both text also include the divine of council and the series of birth generations.…

    Almost every religion in the world has a story about the “Great Flood” which destroys the earth, and each teaches its followers a different story about this disaster. While the Babylonians have the story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Judeo Christians have Noah from the Bible. Both men save a few people and many animals. In these stories, Noah and Utnapishtim seem to have similar situations, but a further analysis shows how truly different the two stories are.…

    Noahs Ark and Gilgamesh

    • 336 Words

    The Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Story and the Noah’s Ark story from the Bible are similar in many ways. They are similar in the sense that they both got rid of their houses and all of their belongings. Noah received his message from God to start building the boat while Gilgamesh received his message in a dream. But in the story of Noah’s Ark, Noah was to build the boat to exact measurements which were 300 cubits for its length, 50 cubits for its width, and 30 cubits for its height. Where in the Epic of the Gilgamesh it was to be built “shall have her dimensions in proportion, Her width and length in harmony.” The story never tells how big the boat was for all living seeds. So as a reader we can picture Noah’s massive boat where we cannot do the same for Gilgamesh’s boat They were both were to build enormous boats that would be able to hold all forms of life. In the Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Story, Gilgamesh fills his boat with all forms of life along with silver and gold. Whereas Noah built the boat only to fit all animals and his family. The Epic of Gilgamesh fought through only six days and seven nights where Noah fought through forty days and forty nights. But we do know the Bible uses the number 40 as a way of saying a long period of time. Both Gilgamesh and Noah released a Raven and a Dove but Noah released 3 doves while Gilgamesh only released a swallow after the release of other two birds. The Gilgamesh Epic has close parallels with the account of Noah’s Flood. Its close similarities are due to its closeness to the real event. However, there are major differences as well. Everything in the Epic, from the polytheism to the absurd cubical ark, as well as the worldwide flood legends, show me that the Genesis account is the original, while the Gilgamesh Epic is a distortion.…

    The flood in Gilgamesh had many similarities to the story of Noah ark in Genesis of the Bible. When Gilgamesh was trying to find everlasting life, he went to Utanapishtim to learn how to get everlasting life. Utanapishtim told the story of the great flood and how the people had overwhelmed the earth and upset the gods. In Noah ark, God needed to cleanse the earth because the people had become to corrupted. I feel like the reasons why they flooded the earth was different in both stories because the Gods want to flood Earth because it was to crowed and in Genesis God want to save the people but cleanse the earth from the evil. They both had similar story line. The Gods came to one person to save men kind. In the story of Utanapishtim the god…

    Standing proudly as two of the great pillars of world literature, particularly ancient world literature, the Book of Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh provide a great deal of insight into the nature of early human-animal relationships. In particular, the documentary hypothesis, which persuasively postulates that the Pentateuch is comprised of the writings of four different sources, means that the place and date of authorship of parts within the text (e.g. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2) vary significantly from each other. That said, it is a safe estimate that Genesis 1, which was written by the Priestly source, was composed in approximately 500 BCE by Jewish priests exiled in Babylon (Encyclopedia Britannica). Likewise, Genesis 2, written by the Yahwistic source, dates to around 950 BCE and was produced in Judaea (Encyclopedia…

    Being a man of religious background, specifically Roman Catholic, I began read the tablets of Gilgamesh skeptically. However I did notice a significant difference between the Genesis chapters 6 through 9 and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The story of Noah as written in the Holy Bible, under Genesis was written as I believe within a society that carried very strong morals. A belief in something bigger than themselves; and their belief in that one thing was called God. A God that was merciful and compassionate, yet vengeful, in regards to his creation known as mankind. In regards to Noah’s story, God was to banish the word of all creatures including man for the violence state that they had become. In the essence of gender relations, it’s stated in Genesis that God saw how beautiful women were created as the daughters of men. It also mentions how God saved the life of one man and his family from a flood that was to be the end of one Generation, the original generation that got out of control in God’s eyes and the beginning of a fresh start. I also feel that the society, in which the accounts of the bible were written, was one of insecurity and redemption. Maybe the bible was like a code of conduct, with examples in which one at the time could refer too. That there were consequences, to ones actions, however through the act of redemption one could be saved, and forgiven by a merciful God. I don’t see vast examples of gender relations in this story for it speaks between man and God directly.…

    Essay On Gilgamesh Flood

    • 1016 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Almost all cultures are familiar with the story of the flood found in Genesis. It is a very important and interesting story to many Catholics. The main message of the story is God is angry with all the sin in the world, so he decides to start over by sending a flood to wipe out mankind and restart with Noah and his family. Not everyone might be as familiar with the Mesopotamian story of the flood found in Gilgamesh. One would likely assume the story of the flood would have many difference considering the contrast in the time period and colossal differences of religion but there are many underlying similarities in details of the main characters, Noah and Utnapishtim, and the flood itself.…

    Although the similarities between “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and “The Genesis” story are many, the variances are very few. Utnapishtim was warned in Ea’s dream, while Noah was directly warned by God. The flood in Utnapishtim’s epic was ordered by Enlil but sent by the whole assembly of gods. In Noah’s fable, the flood was sent by God himself. Lastly, the length of time that the heroes were made to endure the great disaster was very disparate. Utnapishtim had to only survive a short period of time which was 6 days and nights. Noah endured hardship for a much longer period. His journey was 40 days and…
