Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Kejadian 7:3

AND THE ETERNAL SAID TO NOAH. G-d informed Noah that with the attribute of mercy [as indicated by the use of the Tetragrammaton, “the Eternal,”] He will save him and his family and that He will give life to their seed for all generations. This is the meaning of the phrase, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.⁷¹Verse 3. At first He said, to keep them alive with thee;⁷²Above, 6:19. but now with the attribute of mercy He hinted to him concerning the sacrifice to inform him that he will have regard for his offering and that by the merit of his offering, the world will exist, never again to be cut off by the waters of the flood.⁷³See further, 9:11. This is why the Tetragrammaton is mentioned here for in all matters concerning the sacrifices, Scripture does not mention Elokim (G-d), as I will elucidate when I reach there⁷⁴See Ramban, Leviticus 1:9. with the help of G-d.

TWO OF EVERY SORT SHALL COME UNTO THEE, TO KEEP THEM ALIVE. G-d thus informed Noah that two of every sort would come of their own accord, and he would not find it necessary to hunt for them in the mountains and distant lands, and he would bring them into the ark after that. At the actual narration [of their coming, Scripture] explains⁵⁹Genesis 7:16. that they came male and female; this is implied here. After that, He commanded him to take seven and seven of every clean beast.⁶⁰Ibid., 7:2. Concerning these, G-d did not say that they would come of their own accord but that Noah should take them.⁶¹The verse states: Of every clean beast thou shalt ‘take’ to thee seven and seven. Noah brought sacrifices after the flood from the clean beasts and fowl. (See Chapter 8, Verse 20.) The reason for this is that those who came to be saved and to keep their seed alive⁶²Chapter 7, Verse 3. did come of their own accord, but for those who were to be sacrificed as whole offerings, G-d did not decree that they come of their own accord to be slaughtered. Rather, Noah took them since the purpose of the command to take seven and seven was that Noah bring a sacrifice from them after the flood.
The meaning of the word “clean” is that the Holy One, blessed be He, explained to Noah the signs of ritual cleanliness for beast and fowl. Scripture, however, refers to it briefly by saying, “clean,” in accordance with the Torah.⁶³See Leviticus, Chapter 11. But Rashi wrote: “Clean, meaning that which in the future will be permitted to Israel as clean; we thus learn that Noah studied the Torah.”
From here we derive that the sacrifices of the sons of Noah⁶⁴See Seder Bereshith, Note 222. must also be only of the clean beast and the clean fowl. So also it is said of the sacrifice of Abel: of the first-born of his flock and of the fat thereof.⁶⁵Above, 4:4. However, all clean species are permissible for them to bring as sacrifices as it is written: And he took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.⁶⁶Genesis 8:20. [Later, when the Torah was given, G-d] added a commandment to Israel that all their sacrifices be only of the beasts and of the herd,⁶⁷Leviticus 1:2. of the turtledoves and of the young pigeons.⁶⁸Ibid., Verse 14.
Of the fowl also of the heaven, seven and seven⁶⁹Genesis 7:3. — this means the clean fowl for the verse is a continuation of the verse above: [Of every ‘clean’ beast shalt thou take to thee seven and seven].⁷⁰Ibid., Verse 2.
