This phrase underscores the importance of complete obedience to God's instructions, a theme prevalent throughout Scripture. Noah's actions prefigure the obedience of Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the will of the Father (<a href="/john/6-38.htm">John 6:38</a>). Noah's faith is later commended in <a href="/hebrews/11-7.htm">Hebrews 11:7</a>, where he is listed among the heroes of faith.<p><b>precisely as God had commanded him.</b><br>The precision with which Noah followed God's commands reflects the meticulous nature of divine instructions, similar to the detailed laws given to Moses for the construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-31). This obedience ensured the preservation of life through the Flood, symbolizing salvation through adherence to God's plan. The Ark itself is a type of Christ, providing refuge and salvation from judgment, just as Jesus offers salvation from sin and eternal death (<a href="/1_peter/3-20.htm">1 Peter 3:20-21</a>).
