So Noah did
This phrase highlights Noah's immediate and unwavering obedience. The Hebrew root for "did" is עָשָׂה ('asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. This verb is often used in the Old Testament to denote action that is in accordance with divine will. Noah's actions are a testament to his faith and righteousness, as he not only heard God's commands but also acted upon them without hesitation. In a world filled with corruption, Noah's obedience sets him apart as a man of integrity and faithfulness.

everything
The word "everything" underscores the completeness and thoroughness of Noah's obedience. It implies that Noah did not leave anything undone or alter any part of God's instructions. This total compliance is significant, as it reflects a heart fully surrendered to God's will. In the context of the narrative, it emphasizes the importance of following God's commands fully, not partially, as partial obedience is often equated with disobedience in biblical teachings.

precisely
The term "precisely" indicates exactness and accuracy in Noah's actions. It suggests that Noah paid careful attention to the details of God's instructions. This precision is crucial, especially considering the monumental task of building the ark, which required specific dimensions and materials. Noah's meticulous adherence to God's plan serves as a model for believers, illustrating the importance of following God's word with precision and care.

as God had commanded him
This phrase highlights the divine authority behind Noah's actions. The Hebrew word for "commanded" is צִוָּה (tsavah), which means to order or direct. It signifies that Noah's actions were not based on his own understanding or desires but were in direct response to God's authoritative directive. This obedience to divine command is a central theme in the Bible, where blessings and favor are often linked to adherence to God's instructions. Noah's compliance with God's command is a powerful example of faith in action, demonstrating trust in God's wisdom and sovereignty.

Verse 22. - Thus did Noah; according to all that God (Elohim; in Genesis 7:5 it is Jehovah) commanded (with respect to the building of the ark, the receiving of the animals, the collecting of provisions) him, so did he.
