Essay: The First Justice for Crime

The stories of Noah were some of the first known stories about laws that were placed among the human race and the justice that followed the disobedience of those laws. The first story was about the flood. God had told the people to behave and to stop their wicked ways but no one would listen to these warnings. God brought down the floods that wiped the Earth clean of people and of the sin that was brought by the wicked ways of humans. The later stories tell of the restructuring of the human population and how the evil began to arrive again. One of the stories began with Noah being tricked into drinking the "poisoned" wine from the serpent, better known as satan. The drinking of this wine caused Noah to behave like a monkey and behave abnormally. Not much justice came form this story though. Another later story was about the tower of Babel. The people of Shinar tried to build a tower to heaven to see what it was like. God didn't like what they were doing so in order to stop the construction of this great tower he scrambled their languages and scattered them across the Earth. The final story began with a few of God's angels asking for permission to walk among the people on Earth. After long thought and argument he agreed to left them rome within the human population. After countless acts of temptation the angels ultimately gave into the submissiveness of the women. Their punishment for this action was that their children would be known as the giants and the would be forced to live among the people and not return to heaven. This unit was primarily filled with stories and crimes of characters and God's punishment for those crimes based on what he sees fit.
