Now again I ask how did Noah know which were the clean animals since the law of clean animals came 3000 years later from moses??ROG62 » Today, 9:41 am » wrote: ↑ Not inconsistent at all…
Genesis 6:19-20 simply instructs Noah to preserve two of every kind. Genesis 7:2-3 is additional information where seven of the clean animals were to be taken and two of every other kind. The reason for this is that the extra animals were for sacrifice. “Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.” (Gen. 8:20).
Logically, to have seven pairs also means that there are two pairs since the two are included in the seven. If one verse said to take only one pair and another verse said seven pairs, that would be a contradiction.
