High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Noah (or Noe, Noyach; Hebrew: ????? or ????, Modern Nóa? Tiberian N?ª?; N??; Armenian "Noe" or ???, Arabic: ??? ; "Rest") was, according to the Bible, the tenth and last of the antediluvian Patriarchs; and a prophet according to the Qur'an. The biblical story of Noah is contained in the book of Genesis, chapters 6?9; he is also found in the passage 'Noah's sons", while the Qur'an has an entire sura named after and devoted to his story, with other references elsewhere. In the Genesis account, Noah saves his family and representatives of all animals in groups of two or seven from the flood. In the Islamic account, a group of 72 others are also saved (although none reproduce after the flood).
