Noah (Noe)
Rest

Both a man and a woman are named Noah in the Old Testament. Noah's name is spelled Noe in the King James version of Matthew 24:37 - 38 and Luke 3:36, 17:26 - 27.

The patriarch Noah represented the tenth generation of mankind on earth. He built, on God's command, a giant ark that saved many animals from dying due to the great flood.

A woman named Noah was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad (Numbers 26:33). Her and her sisters asserted, before Moses, that they had a right to a share of their dead father's future inheritance in the Promised Land. They made their claim due to their father not producing any sons. Moses took the issue directly to God who agreed that the daughters had a right to the land their father would have received (see Numbers 27:1 - 11).
