    		Seven if I count correctly.
    Noah and his sons Sem, Ham, Japheth and their respective wives.

    		Shouldn't that be 8 - what about Mrs Noah? Actually, it can be argued 9 if you count Og. He was on the Ark but not in it, as he was too big to get in. He stayed outside with an animal called Reëm (whatever that was) that was also too big to get inside. Obviously didn't reproduce if there was only one of it. (Same must have applied to Og, when you think about it.) http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=1780&letter=A
    This is from rabbinical tradition, which I reckon is as good as anybody else's.

    		The Human Passengers. II Pet. 2:5 says 8 souls were saved. We assume this means Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives.
