A friend's Facebook post reminded me of my two favorite Bible verses: Genesis 6:18-19, and Genesis 7:2-3. I thought I'd share them with you here:
"And of euery liuing thing of all flesh, two of euery sort shalt thou bring into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shall be male and female. Of fowles after their kinde, and of cattel after their kinde: of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, to keepe them aliue." Gen. 6:18-19
"Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: and of beastes that are not cleane, by two, the male and his female. Of fowles also of the aire, by seuens, the male & the female; to keepe seed aliue vpon the face of all the earth." Gen. 7:2-3
There you have it, folks. According to the Bible, 2=7. Except, of course, when it doesn't.
