Genesis 1 - Overview

Get reFilled 1 John 1:9
"If we confess STATE our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse purify us from all unrighteousness"

Introduction

Creation of everything

Genesis 1:1 בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Genesis 1:1 In a beginning which was not a beginning (eternity past) Elohim [FATHER] created (out of nothing) the heavens and planet earth

Destruction (chaos) of Planet Earth

Genesis 1:2 וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃

Genesis 1:2 But the planet earth had become desolate and empty with darkness on the face of the raging waters (ice pack) but the spirit of God [HOLY SPIRIT], radiated heat on the face of the frozen waters.

Restoration of Planet Earth

Genesis 1:3 וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֖ים יְהִ֣י א֑וֹר וַֽיְהִי־אֽוֹר׃

Genesis 1:3 And Elohim [FATHER] said: Light be, and light was

Genesis 1:4 וַיַּ֧רְא אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־הָא֖וֹר כִּי־ט֑וֹב וַיַּבְדֵּ֣ל אֱלֹהִ֔ים בֵּ֥ין הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֥ין הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃

Genesis 1:4 And Elohim [FATHER] saw that the light [was] good: then Elohim caused to separate between the light and between the darkness

Day 1

Genesis 1:5 וַיִּקְרָ֙א אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ לָאוֹר֙ י֔וֹם וְלַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ קָ֣רָא לָ֑יְלָה וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם אֶחָֽד׃ פ

Genesis 1:5 Consequently Elohim called the light day, but the darkness he called night. So it became evening (getting darker), then it became dawn (getting lighter)-day one.

*fluid dynamics shaping the earth *the earth starts its rotation away from the light concentration *earth completes its first cycle (24 hours) *light was created before the first day, soon as light came into existence is when the earth started rotating

Genesis 1:6 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים יְהִ֥י רָקִ֖יעַ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַמָּ֑יִם וִיהִ֣י מַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין מַ֖יִם לָמָֽיִם׃

Genesis 1:6 Then Elohim said: atmosphere be in the middle of the waters, and become a cause of diving between the waters (sub surface), and the waters (upper atmosphere).

*atmosphere was necessary before another rotation occurred

Genesis 1:7 וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֱלֹהִים֘ אֶת־הָרָקִיעַ֒ וַיַּבְדֵּ֗ל בֵּ֤ין הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ מִתַּ֣חַת לָרָקִ֔יעַ וּבֵ֣ין הַמַּ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר מֵעַ֣ל לָרָקִ֑יעַ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃

Genesis 1:7 Then Elohim [Jesus Christ] manufactured the atmosphere (out of existing material) and caused to separate between the waters under the atmosphere (surface waters) and the waters over the atmosphere (heavenly waters), and so it came to pass as previously described.

*the sun also has atmosphere, gasses in the sun, are the same in the atmosphere of this world (variations included) *God takes the concentration of light into atmosphere *Hebrew idiom for something that was previously described *aw-saw manufactured out of something already there (since light and atmosphere have a particular relationship)

Day 2 (Vertical Water Problem)

Genesis 1:8 וַיִּקְרָ֧א אֱלֹהִ֛ים לָֽרָקִ֖יעַ שָׁמָ֑יִם וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם שֵׁנִֽי׃ פ

Genesis 1:8 Therefore Elohim called the atmosphere heavens. So it became evening (getting darker) and it became dawn (getting lighter). Day two.

*kah-raw *second day solved the vertical water problem *second day the earth has rotated on its axis / rotates every 24 hours or: elementary light (material substance, contrast to darkness) meor: light containers (only on the fourth day)

Genesis 1:9 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִקָּו֙וּ הַמַּ֜יִם מִתַּ֤חַת הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ אֶל־מָק֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד וְתֵרָאֶ֖ה הַיַּבָּשָׁ֑ה וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃

Genesis 1:9 Then Elohim said, the water below atmosphere (surface water) be assembled into boundaries (one place). Now, dry land be seen, and so it came to pass as previously described.

Genesis 1:10 וַיִּקְרָ֙א אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ לַיַּבָּשָׁה֙ אֶ֔רֶץ וּלְמִקְוֵ֥ה הַמַּ֖יִם קָרָ֣א יַמִּ֑ים וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃

Genesis 1:10 So Elohim called the dry ground, land. But the collecting of the waters into boundaries, He called oceans. Therefore, Elohim saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:11 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים תַּֽדְשֵׁ֤א הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ דֶּ֔שֶׁא עֵ֚שֶׂב מַזְרִ֣יעַ זֶ֔רַע עֵ֣ץ פְּרִ֞י עֹ֤שֶׂה פְּרִי֙ לְמִינ֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר זַרְעוֹ־ב֖וֹ עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃

Genesis 1:11 And Elohim said: dry land cause to sprout vegetation. Plant life producing seed, the fruit tree producing fruit according to its own species, whose seed is within it on the earth. And so it came to pass as previously described.

Day 3

Genesis 1:12 וַתּוֹצֵ֙א הָאָ֜רֶץ דֶּ֠שֶׁא עֵ֣שֶׂב מַזְרִ֤יעַ זֶ֙רַע֙ לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וְעֵ֧ץ עֹֽשֶׂה־פְּרִ֛י אֲשֶׁ֥ר זַרְעוֹ־ב֖וֹ לְמִינֵ֑הוּ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃

Genesis 1:12 Plant life causing to produce seed according to its own species, also tree producing fruit whose seed was within it, according to its own species: therefore Elohim saw that it was good. So it became evening (getting darker), and it became dawn (getting lighter). Day Three.

Genesis 1:13 וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם שְׁלִישִֽׁי׃ פ

Genesis 1:13 And Elohim said light contianers be in the expanse of heavens (space). To cause to dvidie between the day and the night. also to be for signs and seasons, and for days and for years. And become light containers in space (in the expanse) to cause to give light to planet earth, and so it came to pass as previously described.

Genesis 1:14 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים יְהִ֤י מְאֹרֹת֙ בִּרְקִ֣יעַ הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַיּ֖וֹם וּבֵ֣ין הַלָּ֑יְלָה וְהָי֤וּ לְאֹתֹת֙ וּלְמ֣וֹעֲדִ֔ים וּלְיָמִ֖ים וְשָׁנִֽים׃

Genesis 1:15 וְהָי֤וּ לִמְאוֹרֹת֙ בִּרְקִ֣יעַ הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם לְהָאִ֖יר עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃

Genesis 1:16 וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־שְׁנֵ֥י הַמְּאֹרֹ֖ת הַגְּדֹלִ֑ים אֶת־הַמָּא֤וֹר הַגָּדֹל֙ לְמֶמְשֶׁ֣לֶת הַיּ֔וֹם וְאֶת־הַמָּא֤וֹר הַקָּטֹן֙ לְמֶמְשֶׁ֣לֶת הַלַּ֔יְלָה וְאֵ֖ת הַכּוֹכָבִֽים׃

Genesis 1:16 And Elohim constructed the two great categories of light containers: the greater light (sun), for the dominion of the day. And both (the lesser lights, planets of the solar system) and the stars for the dominion of the night.

Genesis 1:17 וַיִּתֵּ֥ן אֹתָ֛ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בִּרְקִ֣יעַ הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם לְהָאִ֖יר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Genesis 1:17 And Elohim gave them to the expanse of the heavens (space) to provide light on the planet earth. consequently to rule in the day, and in the night. And to cause to separate between the light and the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.

Day 4

Genesis 1:18 וְלִמְשֹׁל֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם וּבַלַּ֔יְלָה וּֽלֲהַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֣ין הַחֹ֑שֶׁךְ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃

Genesis 1:18 So it became evening (getting darker), and it became dawn (getting lighter). Day four.

Genesis 1:19 וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם רְבִיעִֽי׃ פ

Genesis 1:20 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים יִשְׁרְצ֣וּ הַמַּ֔יִם שֶׁ֖רֶץ נֶ֣פֶשׁ חַיָּ֑ה וְעוֹף֙ יְעוֹפֵ֣ף עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י רְקִ֥יעַ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃

Genesis 1:20 And Elohim said, the waters be prolific with aquatic life. Living creatures and birds fly above the earth on the face of the atmosphere of the heavens. SO ELohiom created out of nothing the giant gmammals and every living creature, the phylla of aquatic life, moving with which the waters abounded according to their own species, and every winged bird according to their own species. And Elohim saw that it was good, and Elohim blessed them saying "reproduce and multiply and fill the waters and the oceans, and the birds multiply into planet earth".

Day 5

Genesis 1:21 וַיִּבְרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־הַתַּנִּינִ֖ם הַגְּדֹלִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת כָּל־נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּ֣ה׀ הָֽרֹמֶ֡שֶׂת אֲשֶׁר֩ שָׁרְצ֙וּ הַמַּ֜יִם לְמִֽינֵהֶ֗ם וְאֵ֙ת כָּל־ע֤וֹף כָּנָף֙ לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃

Genesis 1:21 And Elohim said, the earth cause to spring forth a living creature category = land animals). According to its own species (domesticated animals, repitles, wild animals). And so it came ot pass. And Elohim constructed the wild animals of the land according to its own species, domesticated according to its own species, and all of the reptiles of the land according to their own species. And Elohim saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:22 וַיְבָ֧רֶךְ אֹתָ֛ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים לֵאמֹ֑ר פְּר֣וּ וּרְב֗וּ וּמִלְא֤וּ אֶת־הַמַּ֙יִם֙ בַּיַּמִּ֔ים וְהָע֖וֹף יִ֥רֶב בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

Genesis 1:23 וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם חֲמִישִֽׁי׃ פ

Genesis 1:24 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים תּוֹצֵ֙א הָאָ֜רֶץ נֶ֤פֶשׁ חַיָּה֙ לְמִינָ֔הּ בְּהֵמָ֥ה וָרֶ֛מֶשׂ וְחַֽיְתוֹ־אֶ֖רֶץ לְמִינָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃

Genesis 1:25 וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֱלֹהִים֩ אֶת־חַיַּ֙ת הָאָ֜רֶץ לְמִינָ֗הּ וְאֶת־הַבְּהֵמָה֙ לְמִינָ֔הּ וְאֵ֛ת כָּל־רֶ֥מֶשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֖ה לְמִינֵ֑הוּ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃

Genesis 1:26 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים נַֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה אָדָ֛ם בְּצַלְמֵ֖נוּ כִּדְמוּתֵ֑נוּ וְיִרְדּוּ֩ בִדְגַ֙ת הַיָּ֜ם וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה֙ וּבְכָל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וּבְכָל־הָרֶ֖מֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Genesis 1:26 Elohim decreed (khale imperfect amair), let us make (khale imperfect first person plural asah),

Genesis 1:27 וַיִּבְרָ֙א אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃

Genesis 1:28 וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֹתָם֘ אֱלֹהִים֒ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר לָהֶ֜ם אֱלֹהִ֗ים פְּר֥וּ וּרְב֛וּ וּמִלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ וּרְד֞וּ בִּדְגַ֤ת הַיָּם֙ וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּבְכָל־חַיָּ֖ה הָֽרֹמֶ֥שֶׂת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Conclusion

We can start to see how James is inferring exaclty the *opposite* in regards to works (or "good works"), NOT to do them-- any form of works *you* do are meaningless / unprofitable and are especially dangerous if you're forcing yourself to do what you imagine "good works" are. As if you're doing them you're compromising for the fact that the Bible isn't acting on you. And if the Bible isn't acting on you, your potential belief (profit) is inactive and thus you're carnal (unprofitable). And finally, that the Bible's work on your is exclusive post-salvation and has nothing to do with your status of "salvation".

If you study for a test and memorize the information, but when it comes time to perform a *practical* exercise, and you're unable to do so because you simply have memorized data that you can't utilize; this is a similar problem that the believers had who James was speaking to.

All of the cumulative points that James has made so far can be summed up as a "carnality complex", because if one is broken, they all break (cannot have "one without the other" system). WHICH IS WHY if divine works are not being done by God (not the Believer themselves), one of the criteria is violated.
