If Noah only had his Jewish family on the Ark, where were the rest of the people, carried in the hold with the other beasts?

They hung on to the outside of the Ark or so I was told by a very frustrated Sunday School teacher many years ago.
Blessed Be!

The other people were swimming at least for a little while.
However the story was an example for people today.
We can learn much from examining Noah’s life. The Scriptures tell us why God favored him with salvation while He destroyed the people of Noah’s generation. This same divine record clearly shows that our generation faces a similar judgment by God. Concerning this, Jesus said: “There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.” (Matthew 24:21) By imitating Noah’s faith, we can have the sure hope of surviving the imminent destruction of this present wicked system.—Romans 15:4; compare Hebrews 13:7.

Well, I think you need to read the story more closely. Try it in several different translations.
Genesis 7:13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.
That's all the people. And this was long before the tribes of Israel existed.

Noah wasn't Jewish.
There was a total of 8 human persons on the ark, including Noah.
All the ethnic nations came from Noah's descendants.
The Jews later came from Abraham's great grandson Jacob, whose son Judah, was the leader and patriarch of the tribe named for him.
There were 12 tribes, in all.

Noah was not Jewish. The Jewish race started with Abraham.

There were nobody else? Why?
Because Noble is a legend. People exahderate. Its like whisper down a lane
Noah saved his cattle from a flood
Noah saved his farm from the water
Noah made a boat and saved his farm
Noahs boat was huge! he saved all the animals
Noah's boat had all of his animals on it
Noah had ALL the animals on it
The water flooded his farm
The water flooded the area
The water flooded the entire world
Thats how people work, they twist stories.. and then at the end, the story is not even close.
Odds are Noah was a guy who lived on a farm and had animals. A flood came and he brought them to higher ground on his raft. People then made a big deal and 100 generations later.........

Noah was not Jewish and everyone else was killed in the Flood. Read your Bible.

Judaism didn't exist in the time of Noah (peace be upon him). It wasn't called Judaism until some time after Moses (peace be upon him.) He was a Muslim (peacefully submitting to Allah in Islam.) And Noah (peace be upon him) and those who believed with him embarked on the ark. Allah (God) knows best!
