Noah was a man who lived over 4,000 years ago, at the time when God sent a worldwide flood to destroy all the evil people in the world. God told Noah to build a gigantic ark in which he and his family could live while the flood waters covered the earth.
* Noah was a righteous man who obeyed God in everything.
* When God told Noah how to build the gigantic ark, Noah built it exactly the way God told him to.
* Inside the ark, Noah and his family were kept safe, and later their children and grandchildren filled the earth with people again.
* Everyone born since the time of the flood is a descendant of Noah.
* __[03:13](rc://en/tn/help/obs/03/13)__ Two months later God said to __Noah__, "You and your family and all the animals may leave the boat now. Have many children and grandchildren and fill the earth." So __Noah__ and his family came out of the boat.
