Did Genesis Copy Babylon? Epic of Gilgamesh Explained

Did Genesis copy the Epic of Gilgamesh? In this episode of Water into Wine, I’m joined again by Dr. Mark Chavalas, scholar of Mesopotamian history and ancient Near Eastern literature, to explore the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atrahasis flood tradition, and how these Mesopotamian accounts compare with the biblical flood narrative in Genesis. We discuss: • What the Epic of Gilgamesh actually is • When the flood tablets were discovered • The Atrahasis epic and the fuller Mesopotamian flood story • Similarities and differences between the Mesopotamian flood and Genesis • Whether Genesis “borrowed” from Babylon • How ancient Near Eastern context helps us read Scripture more clearly • Why Genesis–Kings may reflect an exile lens Rather than being intimidated by parallels between ancient texts, we explore how understanding Mesopotamian literature can sharpen our reading of Scripture and deepen our appreciation for the theological message of Genesis.

Millard — Atra-Ḫasīs: The Babylonian Story of the Flood • Stephanie Dalley — Myths from Mesopotamia • Adam Miglio — The Gilgamesh Epic and Genesis 1–11: Peering into the Deep • Andrew George — The Epic of Gilgamesh • Benjamin Foster — The Epic of Gilgamesh Follow Dr. Mark Chavalas Podcast: The Buried Bible    / @buriedbiblepodcast   About Water into Wine Water into Wine studies Scripture in its original context through conversations with scholars, authors, and Bible teachers, with the hope of edifying the whole body of Messiah.
