<P> The Genesis flood narrative ( chapters 6 -- 9 in the Book of Genesis ) is the Hebrew flood myth . The story tells of God 's decision to return the Earth to its pre-creation state of watery chaos and then remake it in a reversal of creation . The narrative has very strong simularities to parts of the Epic of Gilgamesh which long predates the Book of Genesis . </P>
