Calvin's on Genesis 6:19

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

19. And of every living thing of all flesh . “All flesh” is the name he gives to animals of whatsoever kind they may be. He says they went in two and two; not that a single pair of each kind was received into the ark, (for we shall soon see that there were three pairs of the clean kinds, and one animal over, which Noah afterwards offered in sacrifice;) but whereas here mention is made only of offspring, he does not expressly state the number, but simply couples males with females, that Noah might hence perceive how the world was to be replenished. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
