Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female./Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth"
The Spirit is narrating how the Covenant shall deal with man, upon the just and the unrighteous alike, the same Law shall apply; So unclean and clean beasts.wherever mentioned must be seen in terms of the Law of the Moses. After the nation has been bypassed God in a vision reveals to Simon Peter in what sense we are to interpret His creation allowed to enter into the ark. "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.,( Acts 10.17)" What the Law of Moses failed to obtain, the Word made flesh could.
By the way what role the nation of Israel does play in the overall narrative but as an ensample? We are on the threshold of another even as Noah faced,"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."(1 Cor.10.11-13_
There is no mention of Noah's wive or details of their homelife. but in terms of salvation,"Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water."(1 Pet.3.20)
v.4 "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth."" What is the significance of 40 days and forty nights. Day is distinct as the night is. There are two lights to rule them. This sign does not change.(Gen.1.16-17). God's judgment is perfect so only as required of the Word which is the Law.(Ps.119.89)
"For yet seven days" The Spirit includes the whole number for emphasis.
v.5 "And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him." Righteousness.
