Seder 5: Considering Noah---Gen 6-7

Noah was an example of the righteous man described in Psalm 1.  As we read in Gen 6:9,

"Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation.  Noah walked with God." 

We see some examples of what this meant in Gen 6-7, where Noah was obedient to the detailed instructions God gave on the construction of the ark. Noah's obedience is emphasized in Gen 6:22; 7:5,9,16.

Reflecting on Noah's situation, Heb 11:7 states,

"By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.  By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith."
