Noah obeys God and builds the ark, and God sends the flood to wipe out all of humanity. This chapter is significant because it marks the beginning of a new era in the Bible. It is the first time that God has taken drastic action to punish humanity for its wickedness. It is also significant because it shows God's mercy in allowing Noah and his family to survive the flood.
