- In Abrahamic religions, Noah was the tenth and last of the pre-flood Patriarchs.
A righteous man
The account of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood are among the best-known stories found in ancient texts. The stories contained in the Torah describe the time as filled with corruption brought about by the Fall of the Angels who took wives among the "daughters of humans," giving birth to the Nephilim, half human, half angel.
"The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5)
According to Enoch, the fallen angels taught humans
All the Abrahamic faiths honor Noah as a "righteous man." "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." (Genesis 6:1-8)[1]
