Contradiction with Genesis 7:14
This verse lists all creatures that went into the ark, which seems redundant immediately after 7:13, suggesting a possible contradiction in narrative continuity.
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. [sort: Heb. wing]
Contradiction with Genesis 7:7
This verse mentions Noah and his family entering the ark because of the flood waters, which might contradict 7:13 if interpreted as simultaneously occurring events.
Genesis 7:7: And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Contradiction with Genesis 6:20
This verse states that animals will come to Noah by twos without mentioning Noah's direct action as seen in Genesis 7:13.
Genesis 6:20: Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every [sort] shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.
Contradiction with Genesis 7:15
This verse implies the animals went in two by two, potentially seen as a narrative contradiction immediately after specifying certain individuals in 7:13.
Genesis 7:15: And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.
