ExplanationCommentary
Verse 19. Two, intended for the propagation of their kind. God afterwards specifies what more Noe should preserve for food. Calmet. 7:2. Calmet.—Wild beasts forgot their savage nature, and became subject to the just Noe; and all came readily at his beck, in the same manner as domestic animals come when we offer them food. Yet, in all this we must acknowledge the work of God, and a sort of miracle. Bible.
