Answer 1

NOAH AGE 600 YEARS OLD

Gen.5:3,6,9,12,15,18,51,25,28, Lamech in year 1056, had Noah, Gen.7:6 at age 600. in 1,656 the flood year.
Gen.6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Gen,6:2,4 [ Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4; these angels were sinning before flood ];
Gen.8:4,13 [ The flood was over in 375 days ]; The eight people were safe.

NOAH AND FAMILY NEED FOOD UNTIL EARTH CAN PRODUCE FOOD

Clean beast are those the family can eat until the earth can produce food for the family after the flood, and still the animals have to produce more animals.

Gen.9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

THE OTHER ANIMAL WERE TWO OF EACH TO BE TURNED BACK INTO THE WILD.

Answer 2

Clean beasts are animals like doves, lambs, and other birds. They are considered clean because they were used to make sacrifices. They probably took them by sevens so that they would have enough for sacrifices and two would be left over to reproduce. As of the fowls of the air, birds were common sacrificial animals. God knew that Noah would send a bird out to make sure that there was land for them to live on. That could've been another reason.

The unclean beasts were all the animals that did not fit in to the "clean" category. God only took two of them, male and female, to reproduce. They were meant for replinishing the earth with animals.

I hope I helped you understand the Bible and what it contains. If you have any more questions about the Bible email me at [e-mail]. I'll be glad to help.

As for how old Noah was, no one really knows. I forgot how old the Bible said he was, but no one knows if years in Bible times were shorter or longer than years today.

Answer 3

Noah live over 800 years!

A clean animal is one allowed to eat, like dear, sheep, etc.

Unclean are not to be eaten, like pig, snake, camels, dog etc.

You can lean which are which by reading the first 5 books of the bible.

By seven is 7 male and 7 female

unclean are 2 male and 2 female

Answer 4

Seven is the number of "completion" in Jewish numerology. Why? God created the world in six days...and rested when the job was "completed" - the Sabbath, the "seventh day".

Clean beasts are considered "kosher" - unclean are not.

There had to be enough clean animals for a sacrifice.

Yes....Noah was 500.

"And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth." Gen. 5:32

Answer 5

Genesis 7:1-10: After that Jehovah said to Noah: “Go, you and all your household, into the ark, because you are the one I have seen to be righteous before me among this generation. 2 Of every clean beast you must take to yourself by sevens, the sire and its mate; and of every beast that is not clean just two, the sire and its mate; 3 also of the flying creatures of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to preserve offspring alive on the surface of the entire earth. 4 For in just seven days more I am making it rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe every existing thing that I have made off the surface of the ground.”

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the deluge of waters occurred on the earth. 7 So Noah went in, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark ahead of the waters of the deluge. 8 Of every clean beast and of every beast that is not clean and of the flying creatures and everything that moves on the ground, 9 they went in by twos to Noah inside the ark, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah. 10 And seven days later it turned out that the waters of the deluge came upon the earth.

“And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.”—Gen. 8:20.
: “You must eat no detestable thing of any sort. This is the sort of beast that you may eat: the bull, the sheep and the goat, the stag and gazelle and roebuck and wild goat and antelope and wild sheep and chamois; and every beast that splits the hoof and that forms a cleft into two hoofs, chewing the cud among the beasts.”—De 14:3-6.

-Noah was 600 years old.
-He had to bring 7's of clean animals and 2's of unclean.
-The clean animals were used as sacrifices.
-Unclean animals are explained at Deutronomy 14:3-6.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

In numbers it tells what beasts were clean, it was interesting the way God did it. He didn't go into all the different kinds of animals.
He said the split hoof. That left all horses as unclean or don't eat.
Rather than says zebra's and geriffafts.
Then he said anything with fins and scales u can eat but??. That left out all shell fish. Which now we know has high cholesterol.
Let me see If I can remember, u can eat cows, sheep, chickens and some birds??
Can't eat rabbits, horses, bears, aligators, shell fish, pigs or dogs and cats.

Answer 7

It does have to do with having some to sacrifice and then some more to be able to reproduce, but also it is a number that is used frequently in the Bible. The number 7 is God's number. There are also some other common numbers used in the Bible. Actually multiples of 3 and 4. Like 12. 12 disciples and tribes. Also 3+4=7. I'm not sure why God likes those numbers exactly, but they are something that is a reocurring theme.

Answer 8

the ark was filled with 2 of every animal (male and female) for repopulating the earth after the flood but the seven of every clean beast and fowl was for food. and dont quote me on this, but i think Noah was 120 or 150.

Answer 9

The modern concept of "spieces" is not the same as a kind in the Bible. Sea animals stayed in the sea and many spieces could have survived as in egg form. The ark was not small, it was huge, the size of a modern ocean liner. It had three stores. Noah could have taken younger and smaller varieties of some larger animals.

Answer 10

The clean animals were those that could be used for food. The unclean animals were those we should not eat.
In order to keep the food chain producing meat to eat, those animals and birds that were good for food, were brought into the ark in greater numbers. God chose seven and I have to believe that He knew what He was doing. God is not accountable to me.

As to the number seven being special, it is defined Biblicly as the number of perfection.
