What did noah bring on to the Ark?

Answer 1

Noah brought on to the Ark, his wife, his three sons and their wives, plus:

• two of each sort of animal into the Ark - cattle, fowl and every living thing (Genesis 6:19-22), or
• seven of each clean animal, but only two of each unclean animal (Genesis 7:1-5).

The reason for this difference is that there are actually two different Flood accounts woven together, so that unless read carefully they seem to be just one account.

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.
