Neal Depends on what translation you use 'by two, the male and his female. ' I interpret this as only two of each kind.

Seven pairs of clean animals (14 of a kind) and two of each unclean. Two pairs! That's 4 animals of each kind, not two. No one gets this right. Yet it is written clearly. So what else do we have wrong? Most likely everything we hold as true.
