In which book of the Bible is the story of Noah’s Ark found?

The story behind the answer

The story of Noah’s Ark is found in the Book of Genesis. Its main narrative runs from Genesis 6 through Genesis 9, covering the warning, construction of the ark, flood, survival, and covenant.

Genesis presents Noah as a righteous man who receives instructions from God to build the ark and preserve his family and representatives of the animals. After the waters recede, Noah leaves the ark, offers a sacrifice, and receives a covenant concerning the earth and future floods.

The ark story is therefore not a separate biblical book or a chapter of Exodus, even though later biblical books refer to Noah. Ezekiel, Isaiah, and the New Testament mention Noah in other contexts, but the full narrative is located in Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament.
