There are actually two different stories of Noah's Ark in The Bible, written by two different authors. Rather than discard one in favour of the other, the Redactor interleaved the two stories so that they look like a single, rather complicated story. The two authors were anonymous, but are now known as the Priestly Source and the Yahwist. The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17. The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.

Both authors agree that Noah took two of every unclean beast, therefore one of each sex.

The Yahwist (7:2-3) says that he took seven of each clean beast, although how many of each sex is unclear. The Priestly Source says (7:8-9) that he took only two of every clean beast, male and female.

There's no need to see a redactor or 2 authors. The author had already deleniated the pairings of clean and unclean animals and then proceeded to tell us when and how the pairs came to the Ark.

Noah took one male and one female of each clean type of air-breathing animal on the ark with him. Genesis 6:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

It is 7:2 & 3.

Moses was never on the ark. Noah was. And he took 7 pairs of every clean animal and 2 of every unclean animal.

Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

It was not Moses, but Noah, a lot before Moses' time. He took them by two (one male and one female) according to Genesis 6:20. According to Genesis 7:2-3, he took seven pairs of every clean animal and bird onto the ark and one pair of every unclean animal.

Noah built and placed animals on the ark, not Moses.

Noah put two or one pair of each animal except for the "important ones" and of those he took seven pairs of each...ex. cows, sheep etc.

Moses did not bring animals onto the Ark.

Noah is the man that built an ark to save him and his family from the upcoming deluge that would kill all of mankind. He also brought pairs of animals onto the ark. He lived several centuries before Moses.

Moses was the man that led Israel and crossed the Red Sea.

He also recieved the Ten Commandments.

1. Do not worship any other god.

2. Do not build a statue of them.

3. Do not use My name in vain.

4. Remember the Sabbath.

5. Honor your parents.

6. Do not murder.

7. Do not commit adultery.

8. Never steal,

9. or lie or

10. covet.

Two and two equal four and two by two equal four. In pairs two males and two females of the unclean.

Two by seven the male and his female equal fourteen.
