Genesis 6:20
βOf fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 6Meaning
The verse organizes preservation by broad creature categories rather than offering a modern taxonomic scheme.
Read carefully
The language of kinds is an ancient creature classification and should not be forced into a modern scientific taxonomy.
Reflection
The ordered arrival of creatures underscores preservation across the living world described by Genesis.
