We can only imagine that the world around Noah saw an ark being built and was laughing. Noah heard the command of God and acted accordingly. St. Paul would later say, "We must obey God rather than men."(Acts 5:29)
6:22. "Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him."
AELW2:80
"In this passage Moses fittingly praises Noah’s obedience when he states that Noah did all that the Lord commanded him. This is giving glory to God for His wisdom and goodness. He did not argue about the task, as Adam, Eve, and Saul did to their great misfortune. He complied with the majesty of Him who gave the command; this was sufficient for him, even though he was commanded to do things that were preposterous, impossible, and inconvenient. He passes by all these offenses as if with closed eyes and relies on this one fact, that it was God who had given the command."
