Context — God's Command to Noahgenerated

1Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
2You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate;
3and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth.
4For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”

Genesis 7:1 presents a pivotal moment where God commands Noah to enter the ark, emphasizing Noah's righteousness amidst a corrupt generation. This command is a part of God's plan to preserve life through the impending flood, highlighting the importance of obedience and faithfulness in the face of judgment. The subsequent verses outline the preparations Noah must undertake, reinforcing the gravity of the situation and God's provision for his chosen servant and his family.

The Key Word צַדִּ֥יק, tza.Dikgenerated

The word צַדִּיק (tzaddik) is an adjective meaning 'righteous' or 'just.' It describes a person who is morally upright and in right standing with God. This term is significant in biblical texts, often used to characterize individuals who follow God's commands and live according to His will.

In this verse, it highlights God's recognition of Noah's character, distinguishing him from the rest of his generation. The parsing indicates that it functions as a descriptive term, emphasizing Noah's moral integrity and the divine approval that comes with it.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses righteous, which is also the choice of the KJV, ASV, and several others, maintaining a consistent theological meaning.

Where translations differ, the word צַדִּ֥יק is rendered as just in the DRA and upright in the BBE. These variations reflect slightly different nuances of the same underlying concept of righteousness.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb is יֹּ֤אמֶר, he said, which governs the entire sentence. The structure includes a direct command to Noah, followed by the reason for the command, establishing a clear cause-and-effect relationship.

The sentence is organized with the subject יְהוָה֙ (Yahweh) at the beginning, emphasizing God's authority. The command בֹּֽא (go) is imperative, directly addressing Noah and indicating urgency.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew יְהוָה is rendered as κύριος (kyrios), meaning 'Lord.' This translation reflects the authority and sovereignty of God, consistent with the Hebrew understanding.

The Greek word δίκαιος (dikaios) is used for צַדִּ֥יק, indicating righteousness. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, maintaining the moral integrity associated with Noah.

VII.(1) Come thou.—The task of building the ark is over, and after a week, to be spent in collecting animals and birds, Noah is to take up his abode in it. Many commentators suppose that 120 years were spent in the work; but this view arises from an untenable interpretation of Gen 6:3, which really fixes the future duration of human life.

This command punctually obeyed, 5-9. In the seventeenth day of the second month, in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, the waters, from the opened windows of heaven, and the broken up fountains of the great deep, were poured out upon the earth, 10-12. The different quadrupeds, fowls, and reptiles come unto Noah, and the Lord shuts him and them in, 13-16. The waters increase, and the ark floats, 17. The whole earth is covered with water…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text (MT) presents the verse as the LORD speaking to Noah, instructing him to enter the ark with his family because He has found Noah righteous in his generation. The Septuagint (LXX) aligns closely with the MT, matching 16 of the 16 words in a word-by-word correspondence, indicating agreement in the core message. However, the Samaritan Pentateuch differs from the MT by using the word אלהים (gods) instead of יְהוָה (the LORD), which signifies a notable variation in the divine reference. Despite this difference, the overall context remains similar, as it still conveys the same instruction to Noah about entering the ark.

Masoretic TextLeningrad Codex, c. AD 1008 — the text this page is built on

16 of the 16 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

ויאמר אלהים אל נח בא אתה וכל ביתך אל התבה כי אתך ראיתי צדיק לפני בדור הזה

1 word differs from the Masoretic Text: אלהים (god(s))

Rest, (Heb. Noah) the grandson of Methuselah (Gen. 5:25-29), who was for two hundred and fifty years contemporary with Adam, and the son of Lamech, who was about fifty years old at the time of Adam’s death. This patriarch is rightly regarded as the connecting link between the old and the new world. He is the second great progenitor of the human family.

The words of his father Lamech at his birth (Gen. 5:29) have been regarded as in a sense prophetical, designating Noah as a type of Him who is the true “rest and comfort” of men under the burden of life (Matt.11:28).

He lived five hundred years, and then there were born unto him three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Gen.…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Rest, comfort, the name of celebrated patriarch who was preserved by Jehovah with his family, by means of the ark, through the deluge, and thus became the second founder of the human race. The history of Noah and the deluge is contained in Ge 5:1-9:29. He was the son of Lamech, and grandson of Methuselah lived six hundred years before the deluge, and three hundred and fifty after it, dying two years before Abram was born. His name may have been given to him by his parents in the hope that he would be the promised "seed of the woman" that should "bruise the serpent’s head." He was in the line of the patriarchs who feared God, and was himself a just man, Eze 14:14,20, and a "preacher of righteousness," 1Pe 3:19,20

(halakh, yalakh, bo', yatsa'; ago, hupago, anabaino, erchomi, aperchomai, poreuomai): "Go" ("went," etc.) occurs very frequently in the English Bible, and is the translation of a great many different Hebrew and Greek terms. As the word implies movement of all kinds, physical and mental, it has naturally many applications.

1. In the Old Testament:

In the Old Testament halakh and yalakh are among the commonest words, meaning "to go" in its original sense of "to walk," but also in the most varied senses, according to the verbal conjugations, etc., the preposition attached, and the words in connection with which the terms stand; halakh and yalakh are often used figuratively (translated "to walk," etc.) for to live, to pursue a way of life, e.g. "to walk ever in his ways" (De 19:9; compare

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).

In the long-lived patriarchal age a generation seems to have been computed at 100 years, (Genesis 15:16) comp. Genesis15:13 and Eccl 12:40 But subsequently the reckoning was the same which has been adopted by modern civilized nations, viz. from thirty to forty years (Job 42:16) (Generation is also used to signify the men of an age or time, as contemporaries, (Genesis 6:9; Isaiah 53:8) posterity , especially in legal formulae, (Leviticus 3:17) etc.; fathers, or ancestors.

Besides the common acceptation of this word, as signifying race, descent, lineage, it is used for the history and genealogy of a person, as in Ge 5:1, "the book of the generations of Adam," that is, the history of Adam’s creation and of his posterity.
