Noah Founds Themánón, the City of the “Fight”
After the Flood, Noah's company built a city named Themanon, meaning Eight, after the eight souls from the Ark. Themes: Covenant and Eternal Law
1nd when they had gone forth Noah began work on the ground, and they built a city and called the name thereof “Themanon” (i.e. “Eight”), after the name of the eight souls who had gone forth from the Ark. And Noah built an altar, and offered up upon it an offering of beasts that were clean and feathered fowl.
2 And God was appeased by the offering of Noah, and he established with him an everlasting covenant, and swore an oath, saying, “I will never again make a Flood.” He took away the arrow of wrath from the bow which is in the clouds, and he stripped from it the string of anger, and spread it out (i.e. unbent it) in the clouds.
3 For formerly, when the bow was bent in the firmament against that generation of the children of Cain, the murderer, they used to see the arrow of wrath placed in position on the string of anger, but after the Flood they did not see the arrow on the string.
