    question: explanation of verse 12, particularly this: "whose seed was in itself"
  • The Glory of God - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    I once heard someone say: The Glory of the Peach Tree, is the Peach.

    The Glory of God, is His Son, Jesus Christ.

    It changed me to see my son as being my glory. I treated him differently after that. We should see the same Jesus we follow; in our children.

    They are not our "cross to pick up and carry every day". They are our glory. The only Jesus they may see, is what is reflected through us, into them.

    Don't let your kids wander off__without knowing they are loved and well thought of. We have to walk the walk and talk the talk.

    How carefully we will plant flowers in the yard, and hope they will become beautiful to look upon.

    Go ye into ALL the world. that's all of us.

    Hey Paadamshel,

    Your question is something easy to just read over, plants of the earth whose seed was in itself, after his kind. These plants like the animals after their kind, God clearly says there was no evolution involved in creation.

    The word earth used is Strong's #776. h-'-re, erets definition earth, land, countries, the dry part of the planet. The plants of the earth would produce and grow on their own with no need to plant, till, these plants were self-bearing, plants that did not need cultivating. God filled the earth with food to feed the animals that would be coming.

    Little words put light on things we may just look over like the word earth and in chapter two the word field ha--eh Strongs #7704 meaning: field, land, agriculture. In chapter two it is the plants of the field and animals of the field.

    The earth takes care of itself, but you must till and plant a garden before it will grow.

    God bless,

    In simplest terms - an apple seed. The fruit of the tree apple, peach, cherry; contains the seed thereof. Plant and apple seed and you get an apple tree.

    Hello, Paadamshel, this phrase in Genesis is referring to seed bearing plants and trees. This type of vegetation produces nuts or fruits or pods or cones or flowers that have seeds in these parts of their structure. There are other plants that spread by rizomes, tubers, and roots. But I think these were made on this same day also.

    Hope this helps.
