You know why Noah had seven pairs of each kind of clean beasts on the Ark but only one pair of each kind of unclean beasts? No joke, history.

I'm going to have to guess wildly at this one, as I honestly don't know. Was it because Noah & family had to have something to eat?

The Bible doesn't actually say so, but I always assumed that it was for food.
