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 the Biblical narrative, When Noah was 600 years old, God commanded Noah to build an ark that would have seven (or seven pairs) of every "clean"(kosher) animal and two of every unclean animal. Noah did as he was told, and 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 got drunk, and the resulting series of events led to the cursing of one of Noah's grandsons, 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]
