The LORD told Noah and his family to go into the ark. They were to take seven of every kind of clean animal and a pair of every kind of unclean animal. T he LORD then said to Noah, Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
Noah heard the call from God to buid the ark when he was about 480 years old. He was in the lineage of Seth, Adam's third son, and he was a direct ancestor of Abraham. He was 600 years old when the flood began. God saved the human race through Noah's obedience. Noah's three sons and their wives were in the arc with him.
