Noah and the Flood
God sends a flood to rid the earth of evil, but spares Noah, his family and the world's animals. He warns Noah to build an ark and seven days before the deluge instructs him to get them all into the ark for safety. After the flood waters subside the ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. God then instructs Noah and his family, and all the animals to leave the ark and repopulate the world.
