According to the book of Genesis, '''Noah's Ark''' (often referred to just as the '''Ark''') was built by [[Noah]] on the directions of God to preserve Noah and his family and representatives of each of the animal [[baraminology|kinds]] from the [[Great Flood]].

'''Noah's Ark''' (or ''the Ark'') was a large seafaring vessel referred to in the [[book of Genesis]]. It was built by Noah at the command and instruction of God, in response to the evil of man at the time. God told Noah that he would destroy the earth with a flood, and only Noah, his family, and some animals would be saved.
