How many animals of each sex did Moses did he take on the ark?
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.
How many people were safe in the ark?
Eight people found refuge in Noah's Ark. They made up four couples. There were Noah and his wife; and his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives [Genesis 7:13, I Peter 3:20].
Why did the great flood occur?
According to the bible, he does it because he wanted to wipe the slate clean and start over, which to me means he screwed up the first time, so god is obviously not perfect. Besides, there is no evidence that a great flood ever covered the entire planet.
What birds did Noah send out to see if there was dry land?
Noah sent out a raven first, followed by a dove. A week later, another dove was released:
Genesis 8:7-9 (KJV)7:And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8:Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;What month did Noah leave the ark?
One thought:
Many feel it was just over a year, from the time the flood began, and when the door was opened for all to step out into the cleansed world.(Genesis 7:11 / 8:4+14).
In Genesis 8:11 it says the doors closed on the 2nd month, 17th day of Noah's 600 year. (2327 BC)
In Genesis 8:14 it says the doors opened on the 2nd month, 27th day of Noah's 601 year. (2326 BC)

According to the Torah, the Ark was 2.5 cubits long and 1.5 cubits in both width and height.

Was Noah's ark built from pine wood olive wood maple wood or gopher wood?
According to the Bible, God told Noah to make an ark out of 'gopher' wood, a wood entirely unknown to scholars today. Based on the etymology of the word and the widespread use of reed boats in very early times, some scholars say that gopher wood meant reeds. It has been noted that boats made of reeds were quite seaworthy and could not be engulfed by the waves. Of course, this assumes that the biblical story of Noah's Ark was based on much earlier legends originating at a time before timber construction became normal.
Did Noah take two of every race of people aboard the ark?
The ark was very large. You have to remember he had two of every animal (except a certain few) but not each breed so one breed of dog, one breed of cat and so forth. Obviously he didn't bring aquatic animals because that would have been unneccessary so that frees up a lot of space. If you want to learn more I believe they have a Noah's Ark exhibit with a lifesize ark to give you an idea of how large it really was.
Who came first Noah's ark or Sodom and Gomorrah?
Noah's ark (Gen 6) happened many years before the tower of Babel (Gen 11). Gen 11 discusses the flood as a past event. In the Tower of Babel narrative God does not destroy the tower nor the people but alters people's language so they cannot understand each other.
