Noah is a biblical figure recognized primarily from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. He is best known for his role in the story of the Great Flood, where God commands him to build an ark to save his family and pairs of each animal species from the impending deluge meant to cleanse the earth of human wickedness.
