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