Ask the Rabbi
Question
B"H.
After Noach left the ark HaShem said he could eat all the moving animals of the earth. I understand that concept of clean and unclean animals was known by Noach.
Why did HaShem tell Noach he could eat all meats while we may not eat unclean animals. Did HaShem change his mind?

Answer
Noach wasn"t "Jewish", and lived before the giving of the Torah, thus he could eat non-pure animals.
