==Other accounts==
In addition to the main story in Genesis, the [[Hebrew Bible]] (Christian [[Old Testament]]) also refers to Noah in the [[Books of Chronicles|First Book of Chronicles]], [[Book of Isaiah|Isaiah]] and [[Book of Ezekiel|Ezekiel]].  References in the [[deuterocanonical books]] include the books of [[Book of Tobit|Tobit]], [[Book of Wisdom|Wisdom]], [[Sirach]], [[2 Esdras]] and [[4 Maccabees]].  [[New Testament]] references include the gospels of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]], and some of the epistles ([[Epistle to the Hebrews]], [[First Epistle of Peter|1 Peter]] and [[Second Epistle of Peter|2 Peter]]).

Noah became the subject of much elaboration in the literature of later Abrahamic religions, including [[Islam]] ([[Surah]]s [[Sura 71|71]], [[Sura 7|7]], [[Sura 11|11]], [[Al-Qamar|54]], and [[Sura 21|21]] of the Quran) and the [[Baháʼí Faith]] ([[Kitáb-i-Íqán]] and [[Gems of Divine Mysteries]]).<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Kitáb-i-Íqán {{!}} Bahá'í Reference Library|url=https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/bahaullah/kitab-i-iqan/2#411318536|access-date=2022-01-31|website=www.bahai.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Gems of Divine Mysteries |url=https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/bahaullah/gems-divine-mysteries/4#442040328 |access-date=2022-01-31 |publisher=Bahá'í Reference Library}}</ref>

===Pseudepigrapha===
The [[Book of Jubilees]] refers to Noah and says that he was taught the arts of healing by an angel, so that his children could overcome "the offspring of the [[Watcher (angel)|Watchers]]".<ref>Lewis, Jack Pearl, [https://books.google.com/books?id=mO_H2lVTyhkC&q=%22seems+to+have+little%22&pg=PA14 ''A Study of the Interpretation of Noah and the Flood in Jewish and Christian Literature''], BRILL, 1968, p. 14.</ref>

In 10:1–3 of the [[Book of Enoch]] (which is part of the [[Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon]]) and canonical for [[Beta Israel]], [[Uriel]] was dispatched by "the Most High" to inform Noah of the approaching "deluge".<ref>{{cite book |chapter=[[s:Book of Enoch/Chapter 10|Chapter X]] |title=The Book of Enoch |translator=[[Robert Charles (scholar)|Robert H.

===Dead Sea scrolls===
[[File:Genesis apocryphon.jpg|thumb|[[Genesis Apocryphon]], a portion of the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] that features Noah]]

There are 20 or so fragments of the [[Dead Sea scrolls]] that appear to refer to Noah.<ref>Peters, DM., [https://books.google.com/books?id=MXU3PTrFe6gC&q=%22words+on+noah%22+twenty ''Noah Traditions in the Dead Sea Scrolls: Conversations and Controversies of Antiquity''], Society of Biblical Lit, 2008, pp. 15–17.</ref> [[Lawrence Schiffman]] writes, "Among the Dead Sea Scrolls at least three different versions of this legend are preserved."<ref>Schiffman, LH., ''Encyclopedia of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Volume 2'', Granite Hill Publishers, 2000, pp. 613–614.</ref> In particular, "The [[Genesis Apocryphon]] devotes considerable space to Noah." However, "The material seems to have little in common with Genesis 5 which reports the birth of Noah." Also, Noah's father is reported as worrying that his son was actually fathered by one of the [[Watcher (angel)|Watchers]].<ref>Lewis, Jack Pearl, [https://books.google.com/books?id=mO_H2lVTyhkC&q=%22the+offspring+of+the+Watchers%22&pg=PA11 ''A Study of the Interpretation of Noah and the Flood in Jewish and Christian Literature''], BRILL, 1968, p. 11. "the offspring of the Watchers".</ref>
