On that very day Noah entered the ark
on Genesis 7:13-16
Eight people go in: Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives. Peter counts the same eight, saved through water, and reads the ark as a picture of baptism at 1 Peter 3:20 and 21. Every nation in Genesis 10 comes out of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
This site's exposition
every kind of wild animal
The Hebrew repeats after its kind four times here, the wording of Genesis 1, where God made each creature according to its kind. Adam Clarke compared this gathering with the day God brought the animals to Adam to be named. The kinds of creation are kept.
