In chapter XII of the book *DE EDÉN A LAS NACIONES* we discuss the criticism of the story of the Ark and also the different problems of the burden of the Ark, the care of animals, work aboard the ship, etc ...

Beyond that probably some of the animals perhaps slept most of the time [1], the family of Noé must have had to work enough to maintain the order within the Ark. Male elephants, for example, usually reach between 6.7 and 7 meters in length and 3 to 3.35 meters in height, weighing 5.4 to 6 tons, being able to reach in large specimens up to 9 and 10 tons of weight. It is normal for these animals to ingest an average of 225 kg. Of vegetable matter, which for the most part is not fully digested (the fibers are not digestible).

After eating 225 kg of vegetables with a high fibrous content, it is normal that they defy between 120/130 kg per day. As for water, elephants also ingest it in large quantities, about 190 liters a day, of which a significant percentage is eliminated by urine. Imagine how much work it takes to clean the debris of a single elephant. In addition to the two elephants there were two hippos and two rhinoceroses, we calculated that they would all touch the 1000 kg of excrement per day, plus about 120/150 liters of urine to be removed.

In all Church years, I have noticed that most people read the texts in a hurried way, without giving themselves the time to think about them a little ... or to mentally represent the scene that is related, which together with the study of the context Original language, meaning of words, historical framework, costumbrista, geographic, political, etc.) is fundamental to understand the text.

To understand many of the scenes, it is often necessary to go to some other text, which can be a Commentary, a Strong dictionary (of the original language), an encyclopedic dictionary or some specialized publication on the subject in question. When we wrote this section of * EDEN TO THE NATIONS * we had to go to articles specialized in the care of zoo animals to get a rough idea of the work that Noé and his children had on board the ship for more than a year of navigation .

If you want to understand the Bible, read slowly and internalize the topics that the text deals with.
