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