Why Noah Released the Raven First

The raven Noah released from the ark is usually treated as a narrative footnote. But in the ancient world, releasing an unclean bird was never a neutral act. Why does Noah release the raven before the dove? What does the raven REALLY reveal to Noah? first we need to understand the concepts behind the ancient scapegoat rituals, and how ancient people viewed ravens… Then we’re in a better place to understand : • clean and unclean animals • priestly patterns in Genesis • the scapegoat ritual of Leviticus 16 • ancient Near Eastern parallels • and Peter’s claim that the flood corresponds to baptism And then… the ark will begin to look less like a boat and more like a floating tabernacle, and the birds Noah releases begin to act like part of a ritual.
