1 | How did Noah know about clean animals? | Genesis | Inerrant Word | 2972 | ||
Ask yourself this question ... did Noah actually gather the animals himself, or did God send the animals to Noah? In all likelihood, the latter occured. If so, God gathered the requisite number of animals (clean and unclean) Himself and presented them to Noah. Upon counting seven animals of a kind, Noah then knew they were "clean" (albeit, after the fact). | ||||||
2 | How did Noah know about clean animals? | Genesis | djconklin | 25863 | ||
Since God told Noah to gather the animals then Noah must have known before hand what was clean and what was unclean (Gen. 7:2). We assume that simply because it wasn't written down till later that it wasn't known before that time. In fact, oral tradition works quite well with details preserved for a long period of time. For instance, in the NT Gospels the pericope ab't the woman caught in the act of adultery wasn't written down in any of the gospels till the mid-4th century in Armenia mss. It is accepted, in part, because it bears all the ear-marks of being an oral tradition that was handed down through the centuries from the time of Christ. | ||||||
