Parashas Noach · Entry command · Passuk 7:1
Hashem said to Noach: “Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for you have I seen righteous before Me in this generation.”
Ohr HaChaim on Genesis 7:1 — why the renewed statement of Noach’s righteousness.
Sefaria — Ohr HaChaim on Genesis 7:1
English: “For you have I seen [righteous]” — Why was this reason needed again? … Hashem was concerned lest Noach err in one of two ways: either to think that all his household were righteous in their own right, or to think that the sons and their wives were saved only through his merit without any distinction…
Custom (Ohr HaChaim’s resolution of the apparent repetition).
The repetition clarifies that the household is saved through Noach’s merit while still distinguishing his unique righteousness from theirs.
