706. Verse 1. And Jehovah said unto Noah, Enter thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation. “Jehovah said unto Noah” signifies that so it came to pass (“Jehovah” is named because charity is now treated of); “enter thou and all thy house into the ark” signifies the things that are of the will, which is the “house;” to “enter into the ark” here signifies to be prepared; “for thee have I seen righteous in this generation” signifies that he had good whereby he might be regenerated.
