im reading Genesis 6 right now. quick question, how was Noah perfect in his times?
it says "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These
are the generations of No'-ah: No'-ah was a just man and perfect in
his generations, and No'ah walked with God."

Couple of points:

6:8 But Noah found favor (ח&#1503 in the eyes of the LORD (Yahweh).

Favor is not something that Noah could do or earn favor, it is entirely something with Yahweh.

Also, the word used for “perfect” (תמי&#1501 is also translated as “complete” or “blameless” or “whole.” It is something that results from the favor of 6:8. See how this same word is used in Gen. 17:1 relative to Abram regarding the covenant. Interestingly it is commonly used to describe the lamb sacrifice in Exodus and Leviticus.
