‏ Genesis 7:6

Noah Obeys the LORD in All Things

When Noah has finished constructing the ark, his mind is still as it was at the beginning of constructing the ark (Gen 6:22). He does “according to all that the LORD had commanded him”. When the flood begins, he is six hundred years old. He enters the ark. God sends the animals to the ark. The same hand that first brought the animals to Adam to receive their names from him (Gen 2:19), now brings them “into the ark to Noah” to be kept alive by him. “An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master’s manger”, but man has no understanding or knowledge (Isa 1:3). The animals are more obedient than the people. Noah gives all animals their place.
