The setting

The chapter closes with the formula of perfect obedience that will recur through the flood narrative (7:5, 7:9, 7:16): Noah does all, exactly as commanded. The righteousness stated of him at v.9 is here proven in action, not merely asserted — the chapter’s last word is simply, twice over, ἐποίησεν, “he did.”
