Meaning: Noah; a proper noun referring to the biblical figure known for his righteousness and obedience to God, particularly in the context of the Great Flood.

Word Origin: The Greek form of the Hebrew name נֹחַ (Noach).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5146 נֹחַ (Noach): The original Hebrew name for Noah, meaning "rest" or "comfort." This entry corresponds to the Greek Νῶε and is used in the Old Testament to describe the same biblical figure.

Usage: The name Νῶε appears in the New Testament, specifically in genealogies and references to the events of the Flood, highlighting Noah's role as a preacher of righteousness and a man of faith.

Context: Noah is a central figure in the biblical narrative of the Great Flood, as recorded in the Book of Genesis. He is described as a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God (Genesis 6:9). In response to the widespread corruption and violence on earth, God decided to bring a flood to destroy all life but chose to save Noah and his family due to Noah's faithfulness.

God instructed Noah to build an ark, a large vessel designed to preserve human and animal life during the deluge. Noah's obedience to God's command is emphasized in the narrative, as he meticulously followed the divine instructions for the ark's construction and gathered pairs of all living creatures (Genesis 6:14-22).

The New Testament references Noah as an exemplar of faith and obedience. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus uses the days of Noah as a parallel to the coming of the Son of Man, emphasizing the suddenness and unexpected nature of divine judgment (Matthew 24:37-39, BSB). The Apostle Peter refers to Noah as a "preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5, BSB), highlighting his role in warning his contemporaries of impending judgment. The Epistle to the Hebrews commends Noah's faith, noting that by building the ark, he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith (Hebrews 11:7, BSB).
