Noah's


Noah (or Noe, Noach; Hebrew: נוֹחַ or נֹחַ, Standard Nóa Tiberian Nōª ; ; "Rest" ) was, according to the Bible, the tenth and last of the antediluvian patriarchs. His story is contained in the book of Genesis chapters 5-9. Noah saves his family and all animals in groups of two or seven from God's Deluge. He receives a covenant from God, and his sons repopulate the earth.

While the Deluge and Noah's Arks are the best-known elements of the account of Noah, he is also mentioned as the "first Husbandman" and the inventor of Wine, as well as in an episode of his drunkenness and the subsequent Curse of Ham. The account

of Noah was the subject of much elaboration in the later Abrahamic traditions, and was immensely influential in Western Culture. Jewish thinkers have debated the extent of Noah's righteousness, Christians have likened the Christian Church to Noah's ark, and in Islam he is revered as a prophet of God
