John Gill Commentary Genesis 6:21

"And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them." — Genesis 6:21 (ASV)

And take unto you of all food that is eaten By man and beast; of which see (Genesis 1:29Genesis 1:30). and you shall gather [it] to you; to lay up in the ark: and it shall be for food for you, and for them: during the flood, a quantity sufficient for them: and according to the calculation of learned men ^F14 , well versed in mathematics, there was room enough in the ark, and to spare, to put food for them all during the time the flood was on the earth.
