Noah or Noach (Hebrew: נוֹחַ or נֹחַ, Standard Tiberian ; Arabic: نوح, ; "Rest") was the tenth and last of the antediluvian Patriarchs, best known for the Deluge which came in his time. His story is contained in the Hebrew Bible's book of Genesis, chapters 5-9.
While the Deluge and Noah's Ark are the best-known element of the story of Noah, he is also mentioned as the "first husbandman" and the inventor of wine, as well as in connection with the somewhat mysterious episode of his drunkenness and the subsequent Curse of Ham. Some analyses of the text of the story have suggested that its present form combines two originally separate sources, possibly relating to two separate stories, and that it contains elements of earlier Mesopotamian mythology, although both of these points are disputed and controversial.
The story of Noah was the subject of much elaboration in the later Abrahamic traditions, and was immensely influential in Western culture.
