After the ark ordered by God was built, the heavy rains and flood came seven days later. The construction of the ark took about 120 years. The Story of Noah's Ark can be found in the book of Genesis.

How long did Noah lived?

According to the bible Noah was 950 years, but he was not a prophet.A:All the early biblical heroes are attributed lifespans that accord with a simple numerology formula based on the number 17. Noah, who was exactly 600 years old at the time of the Flood, lived to exactly 950 years, which in the formula of biblical numerology corresponds to 13x9 + 7x7x17.

How many years passed before God spoke to Noah after the ark was built?

Genesis 6:9-7:5 is the account of Noah, and though it doesn't directly say how long it took God to talk to Noah after the ark was completed, if we consider that Noah was 500 years old before he even had his sons(Genesis 5:32), and the flood began when he was 600 years old(Genesis 7:6), it wasn't long. -Noah's sons were already grown with wives during the time they helped him build the ark (Genesis 6:13-18) -the ark undoubtedly took a long time to build, taking up probably 50-60 years. -then to fill it with animals so it wasn't long after the ark was completed and filled before God spoke to Noah telling him he was going to bring the flood 'in just 7 days'(Genesis 7:4).

Why can we not be sure of the size of the Noah's Ark?

A:The Bible gives the size of Noah's Ark as 300 cubits (507 feet) long, by 50 cubits (85 feet) wide and 30 cubits (about 50 feet) high. On the face of it, that would be about as definite as it is possible to get. It should enable us to be absolutely sure of the size of Noah's Ark, as long as the Bible itself is historically true and accurate. The Book of Genesis does leave clues that the story is no more than a legend. Noah had his first child when he was 500 years old and the flood came when he was just 600 years old.At Genesis 6:19-20, Noah is told to take two of every animal onto the Ark, clean or unclean, but in Genesis 7:1 he is told to take two of every unclean animal, but seven of every clean animal. In one place the story has the flood subsiding in just forty days, while in another that it lasted one year.Another problem arises when science tells us that there never was a world-wide flood as described in the Bible. Even if there was a flood in Noah's time the Bible is not sure of the details, and this uncertainty must include the construction of the Ark, but science says there was no flood.With no flood, there is no reason to believe that Noah (if there was such a person) ever built an Ark. The biblical size then becomes meaningless.


How long was the earth flooded including the time it rained during the flood of Noah i get three hundred and one days?

Personally, I think it was flooded just long enough to kill everybody. Noah probably stayed on the ark longer doing many thing to preparing to re-populate the Earth. Not a task many would shy away from.

What is Noah and his sons play about?

This cycle play follows the biblical story of Noah. It opens with him praying to God and then as he prepares for the flood and follows him and his family onto the ark and through the flood. It is a medieval play, probably written by the Wakefield Master, at least it was perfromed as part of the Wakefield cycle. It is considered one of the best of its kind. It has comic elements, mostly in the form of Noah's nagging wife. It came early in the cycle, probably third in the thirty two play performance. It is 558 lines long and written in 62 nine line stanzas.
