1 | Did God bless the beasts as well | Gen 1:25 | azurelaw | 213274 | ||
God created all living creatures in water and birds in the sky and He BLESSED them to be fruitful and multiply the earth (Gen 1:20-22). He did the same to man as well (Gen 1:28). However, I did not find He gave the same blessing to the beasts of the earth. Did God actually give the same blessing to the animals on earth? Thanks. Azure |

Shalom Azure, That's an excellent question. To the 2 passages you used, they separate the different creatures: air and waters and earth. Man is more than an animal but we are "upon" the earth with the beasts, so it's quite possible that the blessing to man could spill over to anything else that walked or crept UPON the earth...?? This is just speculation, but do you think maybe He didn't bless the beasts on the earth specifically because He knew one of them would cause the havoc that took place after He had finished His work (Gen. 3:1)? Thanks for setting my brain to task....:o) Cheri |

3 | Did God bless the beasts as well | Gen 1:25 | MJH | 213303 | ||
Is is possible that in verse 1:28, the "He blessed them." That this "blessed them" was too all the land creatures including man. And that the second them ... "And God said to them" refers only to mankind? Gen 1:28 "And God blessed them[the land animals and man]. And God said to them[mankind], "Be fruitful and multiply . . ." The English translation would put the pronoun with the closest noun, but that isn’t necessarily how it works in Hebrew. ? Just a thought. I have never noticed this before...it is interesting. Thanks Azure. MJH |
