A live stream hosted by #GregStafford 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 was streamed live but then had to be uploaded as the live stream was interrupted. This show is about #Genesis 1:28-31 from translations of both the Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) texts:

(H) 28 Then God began to bless them and say to them, "Multiply and become many and fill the earth and use it to your liking, and rule among the fish of the sea and among the flying creatures of the sky heavens and among every living thing which is moving upon the earth."
(G) 28 Then God blessed them by saying, "You must increase and multiply and fill up the earth, and you must exercise authority over the earth and you must rule the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky heaven and all of the pack animals and everything belonging to the earth and all of the reptiles which are moving upon the earth."

(H) 29 Then God began to say, "Behold! I have given you every plant sowing seed which is upon the surface of the entire earth, and every one of the trees in which seed is sown in the tree fruit, in order to become ready for the purpose of eating.
(G) 29 Then God said, "Behold! I have given you every seed-plant sowing seed which is upon the whole earth and every tree which has in itself fruit from a sown seed. It will be as food to you.

(H) 30 Also, to every living creature of the earth and to all of the flying creatures of the sky heavens and to all of the creatures crawling upon the earth in which there is a living soul, I have given all of the green plant growth for the purpose of eating." So it came about just like that.
(G) 30 And to all animals of the earth and to all flying creatures of the sky heaven and to every crawling reptile on the earth which has in itself a soul of life, I have given all green plant growth as food." So it came about just like that.

(H) 31 Then God saw all of the things he had made and, behold! It was all extremely good. And there came to be a time for darkness and a time for light. This time for light was the sixth "day."
(G) 31 Then God saw everything, as much as he made and, behold! It was all extremely good. So there came to be a time for darkness and a time for light. This time of light was a sixth "day."
