His father did give him his name hoping that somehow Noah would bring rest to a race that was weary with living because of the effects of the curse on the world.

The first thing most people will notice when reading the earlier chapters of Genesis is the extremely long age of the patriarchs who lived then. (1) The name is first mentioned in Gen_4:18-24. Noah and his family entered the door of the ark and God closed the door.
120 years later, and with virtually no warning, it came.
Would you stand out as being righteous or are you basically the same as everybody else?
A lazy person would likely delay delay delay until it was too late to finish, but not Noah. The fact that he was able to finish this mammoth project with likely very little help outside of his own family is a testament to the abilities God has given man at all times and ages.
