===The Flood===

The wickedness of mankind is so great the God repents of His creation and decides to destroy it all through a flood.  Only Noah is righteous before God, and He instruct Noah to build an ark (i.e. [[Noah's Ark]]) to carry himself, his family, and pairs of every creature on earth and in the air.  God then destroys the earth with water, the ark riding the waves until the waters abate and it comes to rest at the mountains of Ararat.  God makes a promise never to destroy the earth by flood again, and shows Noah the sign of that covenant, a rainbow.

Noah is also the first planter of a vineyard, and during a drunken sleep one of his sons (Ham) sees him naked.  Noah awakes with the knowledge as to what he had done, and places a curse upon his son Canaan, declaring that Canaan and his descendants would be slaves to the his brothers Shem and Japheth.  All three sons would have their names and their descendants listed on the Table of Nations, which ends Noah's story.
