Genesis - Bereshit [Genesis]
¶Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
a Gk. κτῆνος; for Hb. בהמה bhmh [H929], animal.
b Gk. ἑπτὰ ἑπτά, seven by seven, is a lit. translation of Hb. שׁבע שׁבע šbʿ šbʿ [H7651] [H7651], seven by seven, meaning seven of one [males] and seven of the other [females], i.e., seven pairs of every clean animal, a total of fourteen, whereas, for a single pair of each of the unclean animals, one male and one female, the Hb. has a non-reduplicated שׁנים šnym [H8147], two, which the Gk. translates δύο δύο. Therefore, ἑπτὰ ἑπτά means seven pairs, but δύο δύο does not mean two pairs.
c Gk. κτῆνος; for Hb. בהמה bhmh [H929], animal.
d Gk. δύο δύο, two by two, in contrast to ἑπτὰ ἑπτά, does not mean two pairs. It translates both "two of each" (i.e., a single pair) here, 7:3, and 6:19, 20:
from each bring toward you two; and "two by two" in 7:9, 15 (Hb. שׁנים שׁנים šnym šnym [H8147] [H8174]):
two by two they entered the ark, meaning "in pairs," or pair after pair after pair. (See also Mk. 6:7:
Jesus sent out the twelve disciples δύο δύο—two by two, and Sir. 33:15:
They came δύο δύο—two by two—one against the other, i.e., in twos, or two after two after two.)
You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
a Gk. ἑπτὰ ἑπτά; see notes 7:2.
b Gk. δύο δύο; see notes 7:2.
Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
a Gk. ἐξανάστασις; for Hb. יקום yqwm [H3351], translated ἀνάστημα in 7:23 and ὑπόστασις in Dt. 11:6.
In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground.”
