Ramban on Genesis 7:15/רמב"ן על בראשית ז׳:ט״ו

אוְטַעַם וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל נֹחַ אֶל הַתֵּבָה לְהוֹדִיעַ שֶׁלֹּא נֶאֶסְפוּ אֵלָיו כְּלָל וְלֹא בָּאוּ עַד עֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַהוּא שֶׁהָיָה הַגֶּשֶׁם וּבָא הוּא בַּתֵּבָה, כִּי הָאֵל הוּא צִוָּה וְרוּחוֹ הוּא קִבְּצָן בְּרֶגַע אֶחָד:
1AND THEY CAME IN UNTO NOAH INTO THE ARK. The intent of this is to make known that the beasts, fowl, etc., did not gather to him at all, nor did they come until that selfsame day when the rains came. And he came into the ark for it was G-d that hath commanded and His breath which hath gathered them84 in one moment.
