NET Notes: Gen 6:21

¹ tn The verb is a direct imperative: “And you, take for yourself.” The form stresses the immediate nature of the instruction; the pronoun underscores the directness.

³ tn Or “will be eaten.”

⁴ tn Heb “and gather it to you.”

NET Notes: Gen 6:22

¹ tn Heb “according to all.”

² tn The last clause seems redundant: “and thus (כֵּן, ken) he did.” It underscores the obedience of Noah to all that God had said.
