Genesis 7:1
God’s word to Noah was, “Come thou and all thy house into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation” (Gen. 7:1), showing us that household relationship with its corresponding responsibility is attached to its head. No mention is made of the righteousness or faith of the household, but the whole house entered the ark on the ground of its relationship with the head.
