Noah, according to the story in the Hebrew Bible, built the ark by order of God, who gave him precise instructions. When the flood was coming, God ordered a male and a female of all species of land animals and birds to come to the ark,[1] but of the "pure" animals seven pairs.[2] Also, a quantity of all edible food was to be taken. The last to enter the ark were Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives. Then for forty days and forty nights it began to rain heavily and the flood came. One hundred and fifty days passed before the water subsided and the ark ran aground on the Ararat Mountains. After sending out a raven and three times a dove to find out if the earth had dried up, Noah, his family and the animals left the ark.
