NOTE

The Flood as a Cosmic Purification Ritual

The flood is depicted as a purification of the land from defilement caused by innocent blood, viewed as a cosmic purification ritual akin to later purification rituals in Leviticus. Details in the flood narrative, like the dove and the olive branch, align with purification rituals. This concept extends to Jesus' baptism, representing a cosmic purification ritual. Furthermore, the idea is enriched with layers from prophets such as Ezekiel, connecting God's renewal of spirit with pouring out water to create a new Garden of Eden where people would obey the laws of the covenant.
