Genesis 7:1-5 (NIV)
1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven [a] of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." 5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

It's interesting to see the mentioning of clean vs. unclean animals. The most visible evident feature that differentiates clean from unclean animals is their diet. The clean animals are all herbivores (eating only plants), while the unclean animals are carnivores(eating only meats)...Accordingly, God divides clean/ unclean animals, male/female etc. At the same time, God is very happy with Noah, since he is righteous and obedient in His eyes. I also wish to become a faithful and trustworthy person, pleasing to the eyes of the Lord.
