TNDL: “WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION CHILDREN, DO YOU KNOW YOURSELVES? YOUR ARE NOT KNOWN, BY WHICH RELIGION YOU BELONG, OR WHICH SOCIAL CIRCLE YOU ARE OF, BUT RATHER, YOUR BLOODLINE. FOR EXAMPLE, NOAH FOUND GRACE WITH THE LORD, NOT BECAUSE OF A RELIGION, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS PURE BLOODLINE.”

In Abrahamic religions, Noah[a] (/ˈnoʊ.ə/ NOH-ə)[1][2] was the tenth and last of the pre-Flood patriarchs. His story is contained in the Hebrew Bible, in the Book of Genesis, chapters 5–9. The Genesis flood narrative is among the best-known stories of the Bible. Noah is also portrayed as "the first tiller of the soil" and the inventor of wine.

According to the Genesis account, Noah labored faithfully to build the Ark at God's command, ultimately saving not only his own family, but mankind itself and all land animals, from extinction during the Flood. Afterwards, God made a covenant with him and promised never again to destroy all the earth's creatures with a flood. The flood narrative is followed by the story of the Curse of Ham.

In addition to the Book of Genesis, Noah is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in the First Book of Chronicles, and the books of Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Isaiah, Ezekiel, 2 Esdras, 4 Maccabees; in the New Testament, he is mentioned in the gospels of Matthew, and Luke, the Epistle to the Hebrews, 1st Peter and 2nd Peter. Noah was the subject of much elaboration in the literature of later Abrahamic religions, including the Quran (Surahs 71, 7, 1, and 21).
