[1] (The Lord) – “See, when Noah according to the decision of God built the Ark, he was mocked and laughed at by the very worldly neighbors and it was said: “There, look at the old
dreaming fool! High on the mountains here, far away from any sea, he is building a water box, because he is of the opinion that God will allow such waters to come, and drive its waves even over such high mountains, and he will climb into it and safe himself from drowning!” [2] Such speeches and even worse Noah had to endure; yes, even his brother Mahal laughed at him and went with his daughters to the deep of Hanoch. The neighbors wanted to tire Noah’s building zeal, by destroying at night what he had built during the day. He then asked God for a remedy from this plague. And see, God send him a great number of large and aggressive dogs, and who dared to come too close at night to the building site, was torn to pieces by the dogs and Noah had a lot of time to build the Ark. [3] See, you have hired very expensively Roman soldiers to guard your houses! There I can provide for you quite different guards; they will cost only a little and cannot be bribed by anybody! They will recognize your enemies instinctively and chase them away far beyond your property borders with a terrible howling; but they will also recognize the true friends of your house and will not chase them away, however let them pass unflustered.” [4] Said Lazarus: “O Lord, provide for me such guards very soon; certainly they will have no shortages in anything with me!” [5] I said: “Now, let us go a little into the open and the guards will be there immediately!” [6] We now went into the large courtyard and straight away seven large dogs came to us, barked strongly and then affectionately were around us. All had the size of a two year old ox and had strong teeth and brown straggly hair. (GGJ Book 15, chap. 31)
