Biblically speaking, it's seven breeding couples of every "clean" species, one of every unclean.
What's much more nonsensical than fitting all those animals onto the ark in the first place though, is the idea that it would actually save them. You've got predators reduced to equal numbers with their prey species; memory check, what do they live on?
Didn't Think This Through, huh?
Given how God is Amighty, one wonders why he didn't have all the bad people just drop dead where they stood, Kira-style. He did something similar with Egypt's firsborn, yes?
Bizarre... it seems just like if a nomadic Bronze Age tribe had picked up scraps of tales from, say, Babylon and Egypt, embellished other collective memories, and created some out of whole cloth for political purposes!
