I imagine so. @8^)
There are a number of animals in the garden that didn't make it past The
Flood. I mean, when did you think all the dinosaurs lived?

95% of the time I am quoting from The New Jerusalem Bible: Reader's Edition,
which I find usually has fairly accurate translations that are nicely put
into readable modern English. I also used a website which can instantly
compare about ten other Bible tranlastions of any given passage. Out of
those others, I would occasionally use bits from the New Living Testament.
Also my girlfriend, who speaks/reads Hebrew, directly translated some
passages from the Hebrew text for me now and then. But as I said, it's
almost all directly from the NJB:RE.
The King James Version has way too many 'doth', 'saith', and 'thou's for my
liking. It was probably the best English translation at the time, but it
comes across as so very dated nowadays.

I say thank you. @8^)

I was originally going to skip around a lot more, doing OT and NT stroies at
the same time, but I got on sort of a Genesis kick. Not sure just yet where
I'll go from here, but I look forward to lots more stories from both volumes.

Thanks. I first saw that idea in someone's (sorry, I forget who's) display
on Brickshelf where they had a shark attacking a swimmer at a beach. Good
stuff.

Of course it's tall. How else will the giraffes fit? I think there's a
quote I didn't use in the story about the ark having 3 decks, so that's what
I went for. Plus I wanted to use all my sculpted brown bricks. @8^)
Thanks for all the comments,
