创1:29神说,看哪,我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬和一切树上所结有核的果子,全赐给你们作食物。
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
创1:30至于地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟,并各样爬在地上有生命的物,我将青草赐给它们作食物。事就这样成了。
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
创1:31神看着一切所造的都甚好。有晚上,有早晨,是第六日。
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.
这里注意到一直在强调"seed"这个词,里面一定有深意。
seed : 籽,种子
fruit with seed in it:带籽的果实。
这些都代表了神看中生命的延续。神也将这种追求生命延续的命令写入每一个生物体的基因之中。
在这最初的阶段,神只赐给人菜蔬和果子,是后来大洪水之后才允许人可以吃肉。
到这里,神花了六天的时间,把宇宙和万物都修复好了。回顾一下:
1.神复造的凭借:
(1)神的灵(2节下)
(2)神的话──“神说”(3,6,9,14,20,24,26节)
2.第一日的复造──分别光暗(3~5节)
3.第二日的复造──分别上下,造出穹苍(6~8节)
4.第三日的复造──分别水地,造出植物(9~13节)
5.第四日的复造──派置天上的日、月、星等光体(14~19节)
6.第五日的复造──造出水中和空中各样动物(20~23节)
7.第六日的复造──造出地上各样动物和人(24~31节)
