Genesis 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 7:14

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle
after their kind
They, Noah and his family, went into the ark; as did all sorts of beasts and cattle, reckoned one hundred and thirty sorts, by some one hundred and fifty, including serpents: and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind;
supposed to be scarce thirty sorts; not one sort of creature was left out, though ever so small, and despicable: every fowl after his kind;
Bishop Wilkins has divided them into nine sorts, and reckons them up to be one hundred and ninety five in the whole; every [bird of] every sort,
or "bird of every wing" ^F11, let their wings be what they will; some, as Ainsworth observes, are winged with feathers, others with skin, as bats.

Genesis 7:14 In-Context

12 And there was rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In that same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered into the ark,

14 they and every animal after its kind and all the beasts after their kind and every creeping thing that moves upon the earth after its kind and every fowl after its kind, every bird, every thing with wings.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh in which is the spirit of life.

16 And those that went in went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him, and the LORD shut him in.
