Noach's Ark

Noach's Family

Noach was a righteous man, with good deeds,[1] the main generations of the righteous.[1] He was perfect in his generations who walked in the ways of Hashem who encouraged him, unlike Avraham who would strengthened himself in his righteousness.[1] If Noach would have lived in the Generation of Avraham in some ways[2] he would have been more righteous[1] but in other ways[2] he would not have been considered of any importance.[1] Noach had three sons; Shem, Cham, and Yafes.

World's Perversion

The world became corrupted with immorality[3] idolatry[3] and full of robbery.[3] Hashem saw the corruption and how all creatures including cattle, beasts and birds had corrupted their ways by mating with members of other species.[4]

Hashem told Noach that he plans on destroying all life on the world due to their immorality and idolatry which brings death to the world, killing both good and bad.[5] Despite this their final verdict was sealed only because of mass robbery.[5] Even the earth would be destroyed, blotted out and obliterated to the depth of a plowshare, 3 Tefachim,[5] roughly a foot (27 cm).

Instruction of Ark

Hashem told Noach to make for himself an ark of gopher wood. He should make the ark with compartments, and caulk it both inside and outside with pitch.

Although Hashem had many ways to save Noach, he did so through the ark, giving his generation a chance to repent as they inquired about Noach working on it for 120 years and replied that Hashem planed on bringing a flood to the world.[6]
