Kind-After-Kind
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 1:24-25  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) God is setting the stage in these verses to show that mankind, intoduced in verse 26, is different from what was previously created—in regard to the law that kind only reproduces after its own kind, as well as to origin. Notice the earlier verses say, "Let the earth bring forth. . . ." Of course, cattle did not just spring out of the earth! God certainly created the animals, but "earth" is used as a reference to origin in terms of what is physical. That is, He is pointing to a physical origin for those beasts of the field and the inhabitants of the sea. Verse 26, by contrast, does not contain any reference to the earth in regard to the origin of man, the source of man's life, or to kind-after-kind. John W. Ritenbaugh We Shall Be God! (Part 1)
