Genesis 9:10

And with every living creature that [is] with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with
you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

Genesis 9:5

And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

Genesis 9:2

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered

Genesis 8:20

And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.


Note:  Now we see why there were 7 of every clean beast taken into the ark.  The extra's were meant for the sacrifice(s) Noah would perform. (See Genesis 7:2)

Genesis 8:19

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

Note:  "After their kinds" means that, there was not two of every sub-species; a horse could've been on the ark, and so a mule, a donkey, a zebra, etc, would've been "kinds" of horses.  Thus, a horse would represent all "kinds" of horses...

Genesis 7:21

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, [the land] and every man:

Genesis 7:14

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.


Note again that it is every beast "after his kind", not every single sub-species.  For instance, the horse would be representative of the Donkey, Mule, etc.

Genesis 7:8

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

Genesis 7:2

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.


note:  God told Noah to take 7 of clean beast's for provisions of sacrifice post-flood.

Genesis 6:7

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it [I am sorry] repenteth me that I have made them.


note:   It is curious that the Lord God did not want to destroy the creatures of the sea.
