At first glance, the story of the Flood appears to contain several doublings and inner contradictions. Source critics point to these as proof that the Torah's Flood narrative is the composite work of a later editor who conflated supposed earlier and contradictory versions of the story without reconciling their inconsistencies. The Flood story is further viewed by them as one of the strongest corroborations of the validity of the Documentary Hypothesis as a whole.
The analysis below examines some of the flaws inherent in the source critical approach to the Flood narrative. Building on traditional exegesis, this article then attempts to demonstrate how an understanding of Biblical literary style and structure helps dissolve most of the perceived difficulties, leaving a coherent, consistent, and flowing narrative.
