1 | Replenish the earth | Gen 1:28 | Cephas | 8027 | ||
My KJV says that God commanded that man replenish the earth.The same command is given to Noah: see Gen 9:1.Replenish implies that there was something to replenish ie to replace.In the case of the flood that is easily understood,but what about Gen 1:28? What was before man to replenish? | ||||||
2 | Replenish the earth | Gen 1:28 | debuck22 | 146947 | ||
I looked up replensih on dictionary.com and one of the definitions is "add a new stock or supply to" and the other is "to inspire or nourish." These are in addition to the definition you stated. I don't think the use of this word necessarily means anything was there before. It would be interesting to see other translations of the original Hebrew/Greek to get a better feel for things. | ||||||
