In Chapter 2, you encountered one of the most striking parallels in all of ancient literature. The Epic of Gilgamesh (Sumerian/Akkadian, ca. 2100–1200 BCE) contains a detailed flood narrative: the hero Utnapishtim is warned by a god, builds a great boat, loads it with living creatures, weathers a catastrophic flood, sends out birds to find dry land, and offers sacrifice when the waters recede. The structural similarities to Genesis 6–9 are too close to be coincidental. Yet the two accounts arrive at very different conclusions about the nature of the divine, the meaning of the flood, and what it says about human beings and their relationship to the gods. Using specific details from both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Genesis flood narrative (chapters 6–9), write an essay that addresses the following: First, identify at least three specific parallels between the two accounts — places where the narratives share plot details, imagery, or structure. Then, identify what you consider the most theologically significant differences between them. Pay particular attention to: Why does the flood happen? What kind of being sends it? How do the gods (or God) respond after the waters recede? Second, the lecture noted that in the Gilgamesh account, the flood is sent by capricious gods who afterward “regret and squabble,” while in Genesis, God acts in moral judgment, preserves the righteous, and seals his promise with a covenant. What does this difference reveal about the two traditions’ understandings of divine character? What does it say about the human beings in each story — are they victims of divine whim, or are they moral agents in a world governed by a God of character? Third, some students find the Gilgamesh parallel troubling — as if it “proves” that Genesis is merely borrowed mythology. Others find it clarifying or even strengthening to the biblical account. Where do you land, and why? Does the existence of a flood tradition across multiple ancient cultures threaten, support, or complicate a thoughtful reading of the Genesis account? Defend your position with specific reasoning, not just assertion. Your essay should be a minimum of three well-developed paragraphs. You are expected to quote or paraphrase from both texts directly. Unsupported generalizations will not receive full credit.

A 69-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes and chronic hypertension develops sudden confusion and visual complaints. The patient appears profoundly dehydrated but has no fruity breath or deep respirations. Serum glucose is 842 mg/dL (fasting normal 70–99 mg/dL), sodium is 128 mEq/L (normal 135–145 mEq/L), potassium is 4.9 mEq/L (normal 3.5–5.0 mEq/L), and serum ketones are minimal.
