Ark (Noah's Ark)

The Ark, known as Noah's Ark, is a biblical vessel described in the Book of Genesis. It was a large, sturdy boat built by Noah under God's instructions to preserve his family and two of every animal species during a divine flood intended to cleanse the Earth of widespread corruption. The Ark provided safe shelter for its passengers throughout the flood, after which land was restored for life. Historically and culturally, the Ark symbolizes divine judgment, mercy, and renewal, and remains a powerful story of faith and salvation.
