Genesis 6:21

And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten ,.... By man and beast; of which see Genesis 1:29 .

and thou shall gather it to thee ; to lay up in the ark:

and it shall be for food for thee, and for them : during the flood, a quantity sufficient for them: and according to the calculation of learned men F14 Buteo de Area Noe, Wilkins's Essay towards a real Character, Bedford's Chronology, &c.; , well versed in mathematics, there was room enough in the ark, and to spare, to put food for them all during the time the flood was on the earth.
