A live stream hosted by Greg Stafford weekdays and Saturdays starting between 6:30 and 7:30 AM PST. We meet for about 20-45 minutes to discuss biblical and other ancient texts which are grouped together for the discussion, as we progressively work our way through these ancient texts.

This show will be about Genesis 1:24-27 from translations of both the Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) texts.

(H) 24 Then God began to say, "The earth must bring forth living souls according their types: Land animals, crawling creatures, and other living things of the earth according to each living thing's type." So it came about just like that.
(G) 24 Then God said, "The earth must bring forth life, a class of things living according to type: Four-footed land animals, reptiles, and other animals of the earth according to each type." So it came about just like that.

(H) 25 Then God began to make a class of living things belonging to the earth according to each type: The land animal according to its type, and every crawling creature of the ground according to its type. And God saw that all of this was a good thing.
(G) 25 Then God made the animals of the earth according to each type, and pack animals according to their type, as well as all reptiles according to their type. And God saw that all of this was good.

(H) 26 Then God began to say, "We must make mankind [lit., 'Adam,' but used collectively] in our likeness, similar to us, and they must rule among the fish of the sea and among the flying creatures of the sky heavens and among the land animals and among all the living things of the earth, and among all the crawling creatures which are moving upon the earth."
(G) 26 Then God said, "We should make mankind according to our likeness, similar to us, and they must rule the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky heaven and the pack animals and everything belonging to the earth and all of the reptiles which are moving upon the earth."

(H) 27 Then God began to make mankind in his likeness, as a likeness of God he created mankind, as a man and as a woman God created them.
(G) 27 Then God made mankind, according to an image of God he made him, as a man and as a woman God made them.
