NASB | Genesis 7:2 "You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 7:2 "Of every clean animal you shall take with you seven pair, the male and his female, and of animals that are not clean, two each the male and his female; [Lev 11:1-13] |
Bible Question: what is the significance of seven of some animals and two of others, other than more clean than unclean? |
Bible Answer: Presumably for food, since the Scripture gives us no other reason to impose meaning on the passage. God, in His wisdom, knew that six would be two few and eight too many. Noah would have been confused if God hadn't graciously specified a number. :-) |
