Subject: How many did Noah bring on the ark ? |
Bible Note: 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. |
