Noah's Ark

Noah’s Ark is the boat that saved a generation of humans and animals when the God of Israel decided to destroy the human race by sending a great flood upon the earth. The story shares many elements with ancient, neighboring civilizations of Israel, all of whom utilized concepts of a universal flood, sent by divine elements for various reasons.

Many ancient flood stories were the result of a god or gods sending a form of punishment for perceived disrespect or “the evil of humans.” The word “ark” derives from Old English for a “chest or a box.” The Hebrew word, teva, was also used for the small, papyrus boat that rescued Moses. In this sense, both served as “vessels of salvation” for the Jewish people.
