Génesis 6:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 6:19

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort
shalt thou bring into the ark
That is, of fowls, cattle, and creeping things, as after explained; and two of each sort at least were to be brought, as Jarchi observes, and not fewer; though of the clean sort there were to be more, even seven, as after directed; and these were to be brought, that they might preserve their species, as it follows: to keep [them] alive with thee;
to be fed and nourished by him in the ark, while others perished by the flood, that so they might propagate their own species, and be continued, for which reason it is further ordered: they shall be male and female;
not any two, but one male and one female, for the end before mentioned.

Génesis 6:19 In-Context

17 »¡Mira! Estoy a punto de cubrir la tierra con un diluvio que destruirá a todo ser vivo que respira. Todo lo que hay en la tierra morirá,

18 pero confirmaré mi pacto contigo. Así que entren en la barca tú y tu mujer, y tus hijos y sus esposas.

19 Mete en la barca junto contigo a una pareja —macho y hembra— de cada especie animal a fin de mantenerlos vivos durante el diluvio.

20 Una pareja de cada especie de ave, de animal, y de animal pequeño que corre por el suelo vendrá a ti para mantenerse con vida.

21 Y asegúrate de llevar a bordo suficiente alimento para tu familia y para todos los animales».
