This brings up an interesting point.
Genesis 6:19 says:
You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
Genesis 7:2-3 says:
Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
So uh, which one was it? Yet another reason to question the legitimacy of the tale.
Never mind the fact that we're supposed to believe Noah himself lived to be 950 years old. Just plain nonsense.
It's a lovely story, with some good metaphorical meanings...but, as usual, there's absolutely zero credible evidence or rational logic to support it.
ok so if you look in addition to the animals that were to repopulate the earth, these "clean" animals were for food and for Noahs sacrifice after the flood (8:20-21)
