Yes, I can try. I thought you did a good job, but now that I think of it, I already understood it. That was a question I had years ago.
In case it’s still not quite clear Azarias, I’ll ad some verses from the Bible in Basic English. I still use that version sometimes to help understand some things.
Gen 7:1 And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.
Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female;
Gen 7:3 And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.
Like I believe Beloved said, the 7 pairs of clean animals were for food and sacrifices. The unclean, one male and one female, were to be used for repopulating the earth. One of the first things Noah did when they left the ark was to build an alter to sacrifice one of the clean animals as an offering to the Lord.
I hope it’s more clear now. Any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask anyone here.
Blessings
Dean
