Genesis 7:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 7:8

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean
Seven couple of the one, and a couple of the other: and of fowls,
clean and unclean, also a like number: and of everything that creepeth upon the earth;
and upon that only, not in the water, for these had no need of the ark, they could live in the waters.

Genesis 7:8 In-Context

6 Noah was 600 years old when the deluge came [and] water covered the earth.
7 So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark because of the waters of the deluge.
8 From the clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and every creature that crawls on the ground,
9 two of each, male and female, entered the ark with Noah, just as God had commanded him.
10 Seven days later the waters of the deluge came on the earth.
