What is the difference between clean, not clean, and unclean? How did Noah know? Preface: This answer is based in the practice of discerning sensus plenior which follows rules to eliminate free-for-all allegory. How to interpret scripture using the rules of Sensus Plenior The rabbis teach that Hebrew words get their meaning from the combined meaning of the letters within. Though they cannot teach how to do it, here is a proposed solution (needing validation) which appears to work Pneumnemonic Hebrew for Beginners To avoid the discussion of the source of Genesis we accept the Wiseman hypothesis, allowing us to examine it as the word or God. Wiseman Hypothesis Using Adam as a well-known example of the formation of Hebrew words, we will extend it to the sensus plenior extreme before using the method in our answer. Adam אדם came from the ground, 'adamah' אדמה . The earth is a metaphor for the flesh. By this we discern that the flesh does not understand, and infer that it refers to the instinctive nature. By dropping the ה to form Adam, it indicates that Adam did understand. This is confirmed in scripture. The woman was deceived, the man wasn't. Adam is made up of blood 'dam' דם and spirit א. The meaning of the aleph is confirmed in John's parsing of 'earth' ארץ into spirit א water ר and blood ץ. The blood is formed by the commandment ד completed by the son ם . Now to the question. Adam named the animals according to their reputation. 'Shem' means 'name' and 'reputation'. He watched the animals and gave them names based on their behavior. For a list of animals in the dietary law and the meaning of their names using the method above see: Dietary law Noah had the names of the animals available to him, and is is reasonable to presume that his father or grandfather had direct knowledge from Adam as to why they were named that way. From the behavior and the names, Noah knew something about the metaphoric nature of language. Clean ה(טהור)ה the secret ה()ה pure טהור Pure ט-ה-ו-ר teaching ט those who don't understand ה to discern ו revelation ר Not clean לא clean - teaching ל something different א than clean unclean טמ-א contracting טמ holiness א, closing טמ holiness א ט-מא teaching ט the hundred (church) מא ט(מ)א marriage which causes sin טא with the promise of the father מ at it's center [1] ט-מ-א teaching ט of the promise of the father מ causes separation/reconciliation Discerning sensus plenior is not 'translating' per se. Sensus plenior exists in metaphor which can be expressed in multiple ways. Where the expressions of a single metaphor appear to deviate in meaning it is important to go back to the fuller description of the metaphor. With eating as a metaphor for learning, the dietary law becomes a list of people we should and shouldn't learn from. It is similar to the modern song Swinging on a Star Clean and unclean were as obvious to Noah as Bing's song is to children.

SAB:1a Two contradictory creation accountsTranslation: The lazy scoffer fails to understand the language scripture was written in, and base their scoffing on English translations. 'Formed' ויצר can be interpreted in different tenses. Which was made first; animals, as per Ge 1 or Adam as per Ge 2? The core issue is in this verse which appears to say that God created the animals to bring to Adam.
The word 'formed' ויצר is obviously past tense in Isaiah 29:16
Though the word can be translated as different tenses, the scoffer chooses the translation to invent a contradiction.
It actually says that God brought the animals, that he had made previously, to Adam.
SAB:1b Man and woman created simultaneously or not?Pile on the strawman: The scoffer builds a secondary claim for an apparent contradiction based on his first faulty claim. This claim is based in the previous faulty claim of verse 2:19 dealt with here: SAB:1a Two contradictory creation accounts At the same time:
Man, then animals, then woman:
