The biblical Noah's Ark story appears in Genesis, chapters 6–9.
Genesis is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. Its flood narrative describes widespread corruption, Noah's righteousness, the construction of an ark, the preservation of Noah's family and selected animals, and the flood's aftermath. The account is part of the early chapters of Genesis, alongside creation, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and the Tower of Babel.
The story is sometimes confused with the separate flood account in the Quran, where Noah is called Nuh, or with Mesopotamian flood traditions such as the Epic of Gilgamesh. Genesis is the specific biblical source for details such as Noah's three sons, the raven and dove, and the covenant symbolized by a rainbow. Jewish and Christian traditions interpret the account in varied ways, including as history, theology, or sacred literature.
