Why are biblical characters like Noah and Moses included in Freemasonry?

Biblical characters such as Noah and Moses are included in Freemasonry due to their significant roles in the moral and ethical teachings that resonate with Masonic principles. Noah is often viewed as a symbol of righteousness and the preservation of humanity, as he built the Ark by divine command, which is seen as an act of true geometry and craftsmanship. This connection to architecture and moral duty is celebrated in Masonic tradition, where it is stated that Noah and his sons brought the traditions and arts of masonry with them after the Flood, thus linking them to the origins of the Craft itself.

Similarly, Moses is recognized for his leadership and moral guidance, having been educated in the mysteries of Egypt and later leading his people out of bondage. His story embodies the ideals of sacrifice, justice, and the pursuit of truth, which are central to Masonic teachings. The Masonic narrative often draws from these biblical figures to illustrate the values of brotherhood, charity, and the quest for knowledge.
