1:9 上帝說:「天下的水要聚在一處,使旱地露出來。」事就這樣成了。
1:10 上帝稱旱地為「地」,稱水的聚處為「海」。上帝看著是好的。
1:11 上帝說:「地要發生青草和結種子的菜蔬,並結果子的樹木,各從其類,果子都包著核。」事就這樣成了。
1:12 於是地發生了青草和結種子的菜蔬,各從其類;並結果子的樹木,各從其類;果子都包著核。上帝看著是好的。
1:13 有晚上,有早晨,是第三日。

9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place,
and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
10 God called the dry
ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it
was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants
and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their
various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation:
plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed
in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and
there was morning—the third day.

深淵是人無法生長之處,為上帝所恨惡的!也因此上帝要興起「地」來使人有生命成長之處,也因此祂要使一切的水中到「海」,好讓「地」可以顯露出來,預備成為人的舞台!
然而這個舞台必須有供應人生命所需的食物,所以上帝在地上創造了「青草和結種子的菜蔬,並結果子的樹木,各從其類,果子都包著核」。使人和與人相伴的動物都有食物,可以延續生命!
感謝主!上帝不會讓惡一直存在,祂必定有祂的作為,我們只要信靠祂就可以看見上帝的榮耀與奇妙之做為!
