Subject: How did Noah know about clean animals? |
Bible Note: But don't you think Moses could count? If God said to Noah, "Take seven pairs of each clean animal" to be used, presumably, for food/sacrifice, once seven pairs of a certain kind of animal showed up, Noah would KNOW without a doubt that it was a clean animal. As for Moses writing the Genesis account, most likely he was simply the editor of Genesis, not the actual author. Some literary evidence (not the discredited, liberal JEDP theory) suggest that Moses received individual portions of Genesis on tablets written by the patriarchs themselves (e.g., Adam, Seth, Noah, etc.). Moses compiled these histories under inspiration of the Holy Spirit and edited them. |
