706. Verse 1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Enter, you and all your house, into the ark, for I have seen you to be a righteous man before Me in this generation.

'Jehovah said to Noah' means that it was so accomplished. The name 'Jehovah' is used because now the subject is charity. 'Enter, you and all your house, into the ark' means the things that constitute the will, which is 'the house'. Here 'entering into the ark' means being made ready. 'For I have seen you to be a righteous man in this generation' means possessing good by which he could be regenerated.
