But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:8,9).
The word blameless means free from defect, as may be observed in the many passages describing the unblemished animal presented to God (Exod. 12:5; Lev 1:3, 10: 3:1, 6, etc.) . . . Of course, Noah was not free from defect. He was tamim, but not sinless. Perhaps a word like wholesome or sound or candid would be appropriate when applying this word to people (see Gen 17:1; Deut 18:13; Psa 15:2; 18:24 [Eng 23] =2 Sam 22:24; Prov 11:5; Job 12:4) (Victor Hamilton, Genesis 1-17, Eerdmans, 1990, p. 277).
