One small point:<BR/><BR/><I>I am not such a fan of the imagined confrontation between Noach and Avraham, nor do I think it necessary to explain a phrase that appears in Chapter 6 in light of actions that take place in Chapter 9.</I><BR/><BR/>If you mean the question of how righteous Noach was, I think the idea behind that debate is less to interpret the phrase, but to answer the question, "if Noach, unlike the patriarchs, is described as "righteous," why was he not worthy to be the founder of the Jewish people? What was lacking in him that was present in Avraham?" Answering this necessarily requires a comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
