Gênesis 7:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 7:1

And the Lord said unto Noah
After Noah had built the ark, and got all things ready as were commanded him; and when it was but seven days ere the flood would begin: Come thou and all thy house into the ark;
that is, he and his wife, his three sons and their wives; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation:
this was a great character of Noah; that he was a "righteous" person, not by his own righteousness, but by the righteousness of faith he was both heir and preacher of; and this he was "before" God, in his sight, seen, known, and acknowledged by him as righteous; and therefore must be really so: and this shows that he was not so by the works of the law, but by the righteousness of Christ; because by them no flesh living is justified in the sight of God: and Noah was a rare instance of this character; there was none besides him in that wicked generation, so that he was very conspicuous and remarkable; and it was wonderful grace to him, that he should have this blessing to be righteous in an age so sadly corrupt, which was the cause of his being saved; for whoever are justified shall be saved eternally, ( Romans 8:30 ) as well as they are often saved from temporal calamities, see ( Isaiah 3:10 ) .

Gênesis 7:1 In-Context

1 Então o SENHOR disse a Noé: “Entre na arca, você e toda a sua família, porque você é o único justo que encontrei nesta geração.

2 Leve com você sete casais de cada espécie de animal puro, macho e fêmea, e um casal de cada espécie de animal impuro, macho e fêmea,

3 e leve também sete casais de aves de cada espécie, macho e fêmea, a fim de preservá-los em toda a terra.

4 Daqui a sete dias farei chover sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites, e farei desaparecer da face da terra todos os seres vivos que fiz”.

5 E Noé fez tudo como o SENHOR lhe tinha ordenado.
