Genesis Flood Story
The story continues: Genesis 7:15
“They [the animals] came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.”
Again the account is cross-referenced, this time by the Babylonian Ark Tablet, dating back 1700 years Before the Common Era.
This tablet, deciphered in 2014, contains instructions on how to build a circular-shaped ark. It also contains instructions to bring the animals “two each, two by two.”
