Genesis 7:5 Summary
Genesis 7:5 tells us that Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him, which means he obeyed God's instructions completely.

By trusting in God's plan and following His commands, we can demonstrate our faith and love for Him, just as Noah did. This verse reminds us that obedience is a key part of our relationship with God, and it's something we can practice every day (Psalm 119:105).

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 7:5
Which was said , and is here repeated, because this was an eminent instance of his faith and obedience.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 7:5
Genesis 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.Ver. 5. And Noah did according unto all.] This "All," is a little word, but of large extent. He doth not his master’ s but his own will, that doth no more than himself will. A dispensatory conscience is an evil conscience. God cries to us, ηολως, ημηολως. He will have universal obedience both for subject and object. ( Quicquid propter Deum sit, aequaliter sit .) We must be entirely willing in all things to please God, or we utterly displease him. Herod did many things, and was not a button the better. Jehu’ s golden calves made an end of him, though he made an end of Baal’ s worship. He that doth some, and not "all God’ s will," with David, in desire and affection at least, doth but as Benhadad, recover of one disease, and die of another: yea, if he take not a better course for himself, he doth but take pains to go to hell.
Then shall we not be ashamed, when we have respect, at least, to all God’ s commandments.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 7:5
Ch. Genesis 7:1-5 The account, from J, of the command to enter the ark. The chief difference, between the J and P versions, lies in the number of the animals which Noah is to take into the ark. According to J, Noah is to take seven pairs of every clean animal and two pairs of the unclean; according to P he is to take in with him one pair of every kind of creature living upon earth.
