Bible Question (short): Clean and unclean animals? |
Question (full): Since this is the first instance of the word "clean" in Scripture - how did Noah know which animals were "clean" and "not clean?" It seems impossible to me that Noah could go out and round up all the animal species of the earth, so does it stand to reason that God brought the animals to Noah? If He did, then does it also stand to reason that God brought 7 pairs of clean animals to the ark, thus distinguishing between those that were clean and those that were unclean? |
