God said to Noah, “build me a boat. Something big’s about to go down.” If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know the story. But here’s something you might not know, because even I didn’t know it till recently. Remember that after God told him why to build the boat, Noah said, “I’ll have to think about that.” Which meant he went straight to his wife, Idit, and said “you’ll never believe what just happened. God told me to build a boat.”
“Why should He tell you that? That’s crazy,” she said. “Besides, there’s too much work to do around the house. Who’s going to tend the crops and milk the cows and invent useful agricultural implements?”
“But…God,” he said.
“God schmod. Seriously. You going to listen to God? Or your wife?”
Noah scratched his head. And then he said, “God.”
“Thirty days,” she said. “That’s all. If you’re not back in thirty days, I’m filing for divorce.”
“Don’t worry,” he said, “I’ll be back long before that.”
And that’s how Idit became Lot’s wife.
