Noah's Ark ( Biblical Hebrew: Tevat Noa廎? is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6??) by which God spares Noah, his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals from the flood.

According to Genesis, God gave Noah instructions for building the ark. Seven days before the deluge, God told Noah to enter the ark with his household and the animals. The story goes on to describe the ark being afloat for 150 days and then coming to rest on the Mountains of Ararat and the subsequent receding of the waters. The story is repeated, with variations, in the Quran.
