Strong's Lexicon noah: Noah Original Word: נֹהַּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נוּחַ (nuach), meaning "to rest" or "to settle down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3575 (Νῶε, Noe): The Greek transliteration of Noah, used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 24:37-38 and Hebrews 11:7. Usage: The name Noah is primarily associated with the biblical figure who was chosen by God to survive the Great Flood by building an ark. His name is often interpreted to mean "rest" or "comfort," reflecting the role he played in bringing relief to humanity and the animal kingdom through his obedience to God's command. Cultural and Historical Background: Noah is a central figure in the Genesis narrative, specifically in chapters 5-9. He is described as a righteous man, "blameless among his contemporaries," who "walked with God" (Genesis 6:9, BSB). The account of Noah and the Flood is not only a account of divine judgment but also of salvation and covenant. After the floodwaters receded, God established a covenant with Noah, symbolized by the rainbow, promising never to destroy the earth with a flood again (Genesis 9:11-17, BSB). This narrative has parallels in other ancient Near Eastern flood stories, but the biblical account uniquely emphasizes moral and theological themes.
