Noah "the Father of all Humanity". Genesis 9:19 These three, Shem, Ham and Japheth were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was peopled. Noah was said to have been a sailor, prior to the building and sailing of the Ark. He was 600 years old at the time of the Big Flood. The whole lifetime of Noah was nine hundred and fifty years; then he died. Noah was, according to the Bible, the tenth and last of the antediluvian Patriarchs. Noah was 950 years old at his death.

After the Flood, "Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent." Noah's son Ham saw his father naked and informed his brothers, who covered Noah while averting their eyes. Noah awoke and cursed Ham's son Canaan with eternal slavery, while giving his blessing to Shem and Japheth: "Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave. God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave."

Noah died 350 years after the Flood, at the age of 950, the last of the immensely long-lived antediluvian Patriarchs. The maximum human lifespan, as depicted by the Bible, diminishes rapidly thereafter, from as much as 900 years to the 120 years of Moses within just a few generations. Another few generations later, lifespans were reported to be less than 100 years on average.

He was 600 years old when the great flood occurred. He and his sons repopulated the earth. Noah also discovered the process of fermentation and was the first person in the Bible to experience intoxication.
