One of my pet peeves is the whole Noah's Ark story and people thinking god commanded Noah to get one pair of every animal.  God actually commands Noah to get seven pair of the clean animals and one pair of the unclean animals.   But I noticed today that god actually commands both, with the one pair command in Genesis 6 and the seven pair/one pair in Genesis 7.

If I was Noah, I would have lost my mind.  Just think.  You've cruised around the world getting one pair of every animal, following god's command to the letter (from Genesis 6).  Then seven days prior to the flood you are made aware of a holy change order that will require you to go back out and get six more pairs of the clean animals.

God:  Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I wil....

Noah: Woah, woah, what was that?

God: What was what?

Noah: Did you say seven pair?

God: Yeah, of the clean animals.

Noah: Last year you said one pair of all the animals.

God: Oh, I changed the specs.

Noah: When?

God: Didn't you get the memo?

Noah: Wha?

God: Well, you need to get seven pair total of the clean type by next week.

Noah: That's not possible.

God: Through me, all things are possible.

Noah: The *$&# it is.
