1135:; the reader only learns the story's background from Eleleth. The revealed background is not exhaustive; it omits many details of Yaldabaoth's creation and fall. This was a common literary technique in Gnostic writings, and implied the authors were not sharing the full extent of their knowledge. Anne McGuire notes that this structure places Norea's struggle in a broader context, and allows the second half to resolve themes that were previously established in the first half.

In contrast to Genesis, the creators of humanity are portrayed as flawed and ignorant, the highest god wants humans to eat from the tree of knowledge, and the results of eating from the tree are beneficial. Knowledge is associated with salvation, not damnation, and the flood is a reaction to humans improving, not degrading. 1435:, Sabaoth is the God of the Jews and the source of the Jewish law. Sabaoth is strict, but not evil; he is portrayed much more positively than his father Yaldabaoth. This is a more favorable view of the God of the Old Testament than is found in other Gnostic sources. It may have been an attempt to appeal to Jewish readers and demonstrate that Jews, like Sabaoth himself, can be saved. 1368:

Scholars do not agree on the cause of these similarities. The two works may be independent redactions of a single common text or separate compilations of the same sources. 1423:; he commits adultery by coveting Eve, lies to humans, and dishonors his mother by claiming his superiority. The name Samael was also a name for Satan in Judaism, and Yaldabaoth combines elements of both God and Satan. His punishment in Tartarus mirrors the binding of Satan described in Revelation 20:2-3. 1095:. Turner proposes that it was written in 185-200 CE and based on an earlier Jewish version from 100-125 CE. Van den Broek agrees that the combined work could have been written in the second century. Francis Fallon believes the Sabaoth material in particular is likely from the middle of the second century. 1289:, re-contextualizing it to explain parts of Genesis. Eleleth also describes Norea as having a root in the world above, echoing a metaphor from Timaeus.

which adds new context to the original story. It explains the darkness in Genesis 1:2 as a shadow cast by the creation in Genesis 1:1. The spirit of God moving over water is reinterpreted as Sophia looking down on water, and the creation of light becomes Sophia's response to Yaldabaoth's arrogance.

In Genesis, God creates the great flood and saves Noah. In Hypostasis, these roles are split: Yaldabaoth orders the flood, while Sabaoth tells Noah to build the ark. In this retelling, Noah represents Jews and non-Gnostic Christians. Sabaoth opposes the evil Yaldabaoth, but he and Noah do not
