Were animals domesticated before the flood?<\/strong> After the flood, God told Noah and his family that they could eat the animals, and that the animals would fear them:<\/p>\n 2\u00a0<\/sup>And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. 3\u00a0<\/sup>Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n When Noah took the animals onto the ark, I’m assuming the animals came willingly. He was able to easily capture the animals and lead them onto the ark.<\/p>\n If all animals were domesticated, then, I wonder about Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep – I’m assuming the sheep were used for their wool and for their milk? If animals were not allowed to be eaten before the flood, then I doubt Abel (or anybody else) consumed any of his flock? Abel only killed his sheep as sacrifices to God?<\/strong><\/p>\n 2\u00a0<\/sup>Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.<\/em><\/p>\n I guess it’s possible that the wool may have been used to make clothing for the few people living on the earth at that time?<\/p>\n These are just random ramblings that have been going through my head lately!
