And Noah did
This phrase highlights Noah's obedience, a key theme in the narrative of the flood. Noah's actions are a direct response to God's instructions, demonstrating his faith and righteousness. In the broader biblical context, obedience to God is a recurring theme, seen in figures like Abraham and Moses. Noah's obedience sets a precedent for the faithful response to divine commands.

all that the LORD
The use of "all" emphasizes the completeness and thoroughness of Noah's obedience. He did not partially follow God's instructions but adhered to them fully. This total obedience is significant in the biblical narrative, as it contrasts with later figures who fail to fully comply with God's commands, such as King Saul. The term "LORD" (YHWH) is the covenant name of God, underscoring the personal relationship and authority God has over His creation.

had commanded him
The commands given to Noah were specific and detailed, involving the construction of the ark and the gathering of animals. This reflects God's sovereignty and His plan for salvation through Noah. The concept of divine command is central to the biblical narrative, where God's instructions often serve as a test of faith and obedience. Noah's compliance prefigures the obedience of Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the will of the Father. This phrase also connects to the broader theme of divine judgment and mercy, as Noah's obedience leads to the preservation of life amidst the flood.
