Fill the Earth [01-15]

Image

God made man and woman in his own image. He blessed them and told them, “Have many children and grandchildren and fill the earth!” And God saw that everything he had made was very good, and he was very pleased with all of it. This all happened on the sixth day of creation.

神照自己的肖像造了男人和女人,神看了认为好。祂赐福他们并告知:「你们将有许多儿女和子孙,并且充满大地!」这都是在创世的第六天所发生的事。

Translation Notes:

  • God made - God formed the man and the woman in a very personal way.
  • in his own image - An image is a physical representation of someone or something. God made people to display or represent some of his qualities and traits, but not to be equal to him.
  • very good - More intense than the, "it was good" statements on previous days. "Very good" refers to all of creation, not just the man and the woman. Everything was exactly as God intended it to be.
  • creation - The six-day period during which God made everything that exists.
