Bible Question: WERE THERE PEOPLE BEFORE ADAM AND EVE????? In Genesis, God told Adam and Eve to replenish the earth. Does not replenish mean to replace what was there before? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Gospel South and welcome to the forum, The word replenish in the English comes to us from the Hebrew word MALE, and here is Strong’s definition in part. male', or mala', maw-law'; (Esth. 7:5), a primitive root, to fill or (intransitive) be full of, in a wide application (literal and figurative) accomplish, confirm, consecrate, be at an end, be expired, be fenced, fill, fulfil, (be, become, draw, give in, go) full (-ly, -ly set, tale), [over-] flow, fulness, furnish, gather (selves, together), presume, replenish, satisfy, set, space, take a [hand] full, have wholly.
