Of each of the clean behemah you shall take with you shib’ah shib’ah [seven by seven] a man and his woman And of the behemah which are not clean two of a man and his woman
Also of oph hasshamayim [the air birds] shib’ah shib’ah [seven by seven] male and female to keep alive zera’ on the face of all ha’arets
