| Topic | Summary |
|---|---|
| Biblical narrative | According to the genealogical account in Genesis 5, Noah is the tenth and final antediluvian (pre-flood) patriarch, known simply according to the tradition of patrilineal descent as the son of Lamech, with no record of a mother having been included. |
| Other accounts | In addition to the main story in Genesis, the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament) also refers to Noah in the First Book of Chronicles, Isaiah and Ezekiel. |
| Religious views | The righteousness of Noah is the subject of much discussion among rabbis. |
| Comparative mythology | Indian and Greek flood-myths also exist, although there is little evidence that they were derived from the Mesopotamian flood-myth that underlies the biblical account. |
