Genesis 7:9
Compare all
7 aSo Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.  
8 Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on athat day all bthe fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the cwindows of heaven were opened.

Genesis 7:9

There went in two and two—Doubtless they were led by a divine impulse. The number would not be so large as at first sight one is apt to imagine. It has been calculated that there are not more than three hundred distinct species of beasts and birds, the immense varieties in regard to form, size, and color being traceable to the influence of climate and other circumstances.
