>409: How many animals of each kind did Noah take into the ark? (Genesis 6:19, 7:8, 7:9, 7:15) vs (Genesis 7:2)
God command Noah to take one pair (male and female) of every kind of animal
Later, it states that the animals entered the ark 2 by 2, reinforcing the idea of one pair per kind
vs
God tells noah to take 7 pairs (seven males and seven females) of clean animals and one pair of unclean animals.
this isn't a contradiction, it's a progressive clarification of God's instructions, distinguishing between clean and unclean animals.
a real world example would be an expert farmer telling a newbie farmer to bring two of every type of livestock (male and female) into a barn to ensure they survive.
then later, the expert farmer tells him to bring seven pairs of cows specifically because he'll need extras for milk and breeding. the general rule is two per type, but the specific instruction for cows adds more for their additional uses, just like Noah's extra clean animals for sacrifices.
