When his society persistently rejected his warnings and mocked his teachings over centuries, God commanded Noah to construct a massive wooden vessel, the Ark, to preserve his family, righteous followers, and breeding pairs of animal species from a catastrophic global deluge.
After months at sea, the floodwaters receded and the Ark came to rest upon a mountain peak. The Hebrew Bible identifies this location as the Mountains of Ararat (in modern-day eastern Turkey), while the Quran specifies Mount Judi (located in the same region near the Turkish-Iraqi border).
