V. 6. ויבא וגו׳ מפני וגו׳. Vergl. Bereschit 7, 7: ויבא נח וגו׳ אל התכה מפני מי המבול; Jes.2, 19 u. 21: ובאו במערות וגו׳ מפני וגו׳ לבא בנקרות הצורים וגו׳ מפני פחד ד׳ וגו׳. Sie antworteten nichts, sie flüchteten sich zum אהל מוער, wie immer, wenn die Göttlichkeit ihrer Sendung in Frage gestellt ward.

OF CLEAN BEASTS, AND OF BEASTS THAT ARE NOT CLEAN. TWO AND TWO THERE CAME IN UNTO NOAH. Rashi explained: “They were all equal with respect to this number for the least number of any species was two.” Others⁷⁹R’dak. said that the meaning of “two” is pairs, meaning that they came couplewise, male and female together.
In my opinion, the matter was thus: two — a male and a female — came of their own accord from each species, and Noah added by bringing six additional pairs from the clean ones since those that came to be saved arrived of their own accord while he busied himself for the sake of the commandment with those that were destined for sacrifice, for so it was told to him.⁸⁰See Ramban above, 6:20. And the meaning of the verse, And Noah did according unto all that the Eternal commanded him,⁸¹Verse 5. is, as the Rabbis have said in Bereshith Rabbah,⁷⁸32:9. that he was to prepare to bring in the cattle, beast, and fowl, meaning the clean ones, those which he himself went after and brought to his house. The verse which states a third time, as G-d hath commanded Noah,⁸²Verse 9. means that he did as He had commanded him concerning entering the ark, for this verse is connected with the above verse: And Noah came in.⁷⁷Verse 7. The verse thus states that Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives came into the ark along with two and two of the cattle and fowl and creeping things that came to him in order to enter into the ark. All of them came with him, entering the ark because of the waters of the flood,⁷⁷Verse 7. as G-d commanded him. Scripture then returns and sets forth the month and the day in which the flood came⁸³Verse 11. and how he entered the ark, stating that on that selfsame day when the rains began — and not before — Noah entered the ark, and with him were all living things.

שנים מכל יבואו אליך,”two of each species will come to you, etc.” According to Nachmanides G’d tells Noach that these creatures will present themselves before Noach of their own volition, so that he did not have to go chasing after them in order to save their lives. When the Torah later on reports about the arrival of these beasts, it adds that they all came as a pair, male and female. (7,9) We need to resolve why, in the previous verse, G’d instructed Noach “to bring the beasts to him,” seeing they were going to come of their own volition. The instruction in verse 19 became operative only after the animals had presented themselves before Noach. Now he was to bring them into the ark and to assign to them their respective quarters. Moreover, the animals that were to have their lives saved came of their own volition. But the seven pairs of the pure animals that were to serve as sacrifices after the deluge did not come by themselves, but Noach was instructed to take them and bring them into the ark. (compare 7,2)
