Translation of Genesis 7:1
Yahweh said to Noah: enter you and your house into the box, because I saw you righteous before me in this generation.
Comments
Note that God does not say "I saw you more righteous than (others) of this generation", but "before me in this generation". So, we may assume that righteousness of Noah was not just relative but in some sense absolute.
