Descendents of Cain

Yesterday our lesson began with our review of Cain's descendents. We talked about who they were and what they brought to the world. Then we did a picture showing the line of Cain's family.

Then we moved on and read about Noah's birth. In the Legends book we read that when Noah was born he was so beautiful that his own father, Lamech fled from him back to his father, Methuselah claiming he had a strange son. Lamech said he resembles the children of the angels of heaven. Methuselah went to Enoch, his father to inquire about his grandson. Enoch explained to him that Noah was special. Enoch explained the destruction that would come into the world and that Noah and his children would be saved and the earth would be cleansed from all inpurity. The world changed when Noah arrived. When he was born all returned to its state preceding the fall of man meaning the earth began to produce as it should and the animals again began to obey man helping them till the earth. It was a fun story to read.

Today we will study Rosh Hashanah. I'll write all about it soon!
