Chasidut for Zevachim 231:2
ואיתקש בהמה לעוף
Because it says, 'And of every living thing of all flesh':<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Gen. VI, 19.');"><sup>2</sup></span> the Holy One, blessed be He, said to Noah: Bring [into the Ark] animal[s] whose chief limbs are alive.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., not missing. - Of these animals Noah subsequently sacrificed.');"><sup>3</sup></span>
Pri Tzadik
וישמע יתרו: the portion dealing with יתרו comes before the giving of the Torah. There is a discussion whether יתרו's portion came before or after the giving of the Torah. If the portion of יתרו came before, we need to understand why the whole giving of the Torah was prefaced with the story of יתרו.
