AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:26 ¶ Then God said, "Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth." [Ps 104:30; Heb 1:2; 11:3] |
Bible Question:
How is it that (Gen 1:26) God said, “Let us make human beings Or man; Hebrew reads adam. in our image, to be like us. They will reign ... 27So God created human beings# 1:27 Or the man; Hebrew reads ha-adam. in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” but then... Gen 2:5 "there were no people to cultivate the soil." and then... Gen 2:7 "Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person." Wasn't Adam already created? I'm confused... |
Bible Answer: Don’t be confused: Believe it not there is a logic here, its just not the way people would write today. I believe a good example is Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The stories about theses people start and then end with there death but the start of the story of the next generation for example Abraham to Isaac gives the impression that the next story starts after the death in the previous story. Not so, Noah was alive when Abraham (ten generations later) was alive, and Shem son of Noah was alive when Jacob was alive. So in the first chapter of Genesis creation of all things are said. Then the next chapter the focuses is on man. Therefore the details of the creation of man and so one are said. |
