Who he was
Noah was the son of Lamech, a descendant of Seth (Genesis 5:29–30). He was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God (Genesis 6:9). When God saw the wickedness of humanity, He chose Noah to build an ark to save his family and representatives of all animals from the coming flood (Genesis 6:13–22). Noah obeyed God and built the ark, and he and his family entered it along with the animals (Genesis 7). After the flood, Noah built an altar and made sacrifices to God (Genesis 8:20). God blessed Noah and his sons, establishing a covenant with them and setting the rainbow as a sign of His promise never to destroy the earth by flood again (Genesis 9). Noah lived for 950 years (Genesis 9:29). He is remembered as an example of faith (Hebrews 11:7) and righteousness (Ezk.14.14, 20; 2 Peter 2:5).
