    Yes I Know but alot of versions will say that Noah was righteous when the KJB says he found Grace in the sight of the Lord!And if only 8 souls were saved back then will the Lord find faith when He returns to the earth? All I am saying is that he has told us to build a Sort of Spiritual ARK and we are to Go In It. This world dosen't Know God and Will Perish with out that Ark (Blood of Jesus) And their testimony!Amen!:Fish:

    The KJV translators themselves sometimes translated this same Hebrew word as "enter" (Gen. 12:11) and "go" (Gen. 15:15, 16:2) in the book of Genesis.

    The 1560 Geneva Bible, one of the earlier English Bibles of which the KJV was a revision, has "Enter" [spelled entre] at Genesis 7:1.

    William Tyndale, in effect the primary translator of the KJV's N. T.,
    translated this Hebrew word as "go" at Genesis 7:1.

    The KJV may have kept the rendering of the Bishops' Bible "come" at this verse.
