Gen 7:13–16: "on that very day"; "the Lord shut behind him"

Says בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה, "in the bone of this day," is "On that very day" (BSB); BDB glosses the noun "bone, substance, self," and the phrase recurs at Gen 17:23, 26 and Exod 12:17, 41, 51. 7:13 names Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's wife and וּשְׁלֹשֶׁת נְשֵׁי־בָנָיו, "the three wives of his sons." 7:14: each beast לְמִינָהּ, "after its kind," and כֹּל צִפּוֹר כָּל־כָּנָף, "every bird, every wing." 7:15–16: שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם מִכָּל־הַבָּשָׂר, "two two of all the flesh," אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ רוּחַ חַיִּים, "in which is the breath of life," כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֹתוֹ אֱלֹהִים, "as God commanded him," then וַיִּסְגֹּר יְהוָה בַּעֲדוֹ, "and the Lord shut behind him" ("Then the Lord shut him in," BSB; BDB "shut, close"). Swete has ἔκλεισεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τὴν κιβωτὸν ἔξωθεν αὐτοῦ, "the Lord God shut the ark from outside him."

Says The chapter names יְהוָה in 7:1, 5 and 16, and אֱלֹהִים in 7:9 and 16; 7:16 has both. 7:13–16 tells again the entry of 7:7–9, now dated.

Uncertain How the retelling and the two names are read. (1) A resumption: ground, it adds the date and the sons' names and carries the account to the shut door; objection, it repeats the lists nearly word for word. (2) Two accounts set together, each with its own name for God: ground, the names fall with other doublets, such as the sevens and the pairs; objection, 7:16 joins both names in one verse. No lean is taken here.
