"In Abrahamic religions, Noah[a] (/ˈnoʊ.ə/ NOH-ə) was the tenth and last of the pre-Flood patriarchs. His story is contained in the Hebrew Bible, in the Book of Genesis, chapters 5–9. The Genesis flood narrative is among the best-known stories of the Bible. Noah is also portrayed as "the first tiller of the soil" and the inventor of wine.
According to the Genesis account, Noah labored faithfully to build the Ark at God´s command, ultimately saving not only his own family, but mankind itself and all land animals, from extinction during the Flood. Afterwards, God made a covenant with him and promised never again to destroy all the earth´s creatures with a flood. The flood narrative is followed by the story of the Curse of Ham." - (en.wikipedia.org 15.12.2019)
