Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
Genesis 7:1 (NKJV)

Different translations render Genesis 7:1 as "GO into the ark" or "ENTER the ark" as though these all mean the same thing… but the Hebrew word בֹּֽא־ ("bo") most often means to "come in."

God didn't say "GO into THAT boat over there." He said "COME into MY boat with Me, right HERE."
