Who built the ark?

**The reasoning** The ark was built by **Noah**, as recorded in the book of Genesis. God instructed Noah to build the ark because He planned to send a flood to cleanse the earth of wickedness. Noah, described as a righteous man, followed God's specific instructions — building a massive wooden vessel (about 450 feet long!) to save his family and pairs of every animal species. This is one of the most famous Old Testament stories, symbolizing obedience and salvation. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Adam** was the first man created by God, so students might pick him thinking "first person = first big event" - **Abraham** is called the "father of faith" and made a covenant with God, so his prominence might confuse you - **Moses** built the tabernacle and led the Exodus, so students mix up "famous Bible builder" with "ark builder" **Quick takeaway** Remember: **Noah = ark and flood; Moses = tabernacle and Red Sea crossing** — match the person to their specific mission from God.
