Verses 13-18 repeat for a third time and give more detail about how Noah went into the ark with his family and the animals in Genesis [Genesis 7:1](./01.md). This is not a new event.

|
|
|
## two of all flesh in which was the breath of life ##
|
|
|
|
This refers to the animals that were listed in verse 14.
|
|
|
|
## in which was the breath of life ##
|
|
|
|
The phrase “in which was the breath of life” is a figurative way of saying “that lived.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
## male and female of all flesh ##
|
|
|
|
This could be translated as "male and female of every kind of animal."
|
|
|
|
## after them ##
|
|
|
|
This could be made more explicit: "after they entered the ark" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]). |
