1 | How many did Noah bring on the ark ? | Gen 7:2 | JRMGHM | 181206 | ||
OK I'm not a bible scholar.. and I agree with the sacrifice answer. Also, just wanted to throw this in there: I think the number "7" in the Bible often refers to "perfection" or "completeness". Not sure if this is the case there, but if you're really interested it'd be a good thing to research. | ||||||
2 | How many did Noah bring on the ark ? | Gen 7:2 | kalos | 181218 | ||
In this passage if 7 is not a literal number, then how is Noah to know how many of every clean animal he is to take? Let's try your definition of 7 and see how the verse would read with it. "You shall take with you of every clean animal by perfections, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;" Also, in this verse if 7 means perfection then 2 would mean imperfection and the verse would read, "You shall take with you of every clean animal by perfections, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean imperfection, a male and his female;" When the literal sense makes good sense, seek no other sense lest it be nonsense. |

3 | How many did Noah bring on the ark ? | Gen 7:2 | JRMGHM | 181224 | ||
Hmm. Actually I agree with the sacrifice answer. I was just throwing in that fact that in Hebrew the number 7 can and does often mean perfection as something to think about. Most Hebrew scholars would say that does not mean that all other numbers mean imperfection.. I actually think the number 6 means imperfection. (I think number 12, not 7, means completeness and 11 means incompleteness. The opposites are typically one number off each other.) Sorry- I was not trying to say let's not take the Bible literally!! I like to look at things from different angles. |
