According to Genesis, Noah (Hebrew נוֹחַ), the son of Lamech was commanded by God to build an ark which would hold all the worlds animals while God flooded the world as punishment for their wickedness.

Life

According to Biblical folklore, When Noah was 600 years old, God commanded Noah to build an Ark that would have two of every "clean"(kosher) animal and 7 of every clean animal. Noah did as he was told, God flooded the earth. After the flood (which lasted almost a year), Noah came out of the Ark, and made sacrifices to God. After this, Noah invented wine and got drunk. The resulting series of events led to the cursing of Noah's grandson Canaan.

Biblical Account and World Flood Myths

Dr. John Morris points out that nearly every culture has a tradition of a global flood and that the biblical account has many commonalities with the world's flood myths. [1]
