Thus did Noah
Or "and" or "therefore Noah made" F15 the ark; and "all
things", as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions:
according to all that God commanded him, so did
he;
he made the ark according to the pattern God gave him, he
gathered together food for himself and family, and for all the
creatures, and laid it up in the ark as God directed him; and
when the time was come, he and they not only entered into it, but
he took with him all the creatures he was ordered, as after
related; in this we have an instance of his fear of God, of his
faith in his word, and of his obedience to his will, see (
Hebrews
11:7 ) in all which he was a type of Christ, the builder of
his church the ark was a figure of, and the pilot of it through
the tempestuous sea of this world, and the provider of all good
things for it, for the sustenance of it, and of those who are in
it.
