Fulfilling the commandment to be fruitful and multiply.
“Fulfilling the commandment to be fruitful and multiply.”
This is one of the most interesting phrases in the bible. To complete the phrase I believe it is necessary to include the “why” and that is to “replenish the earth. This begs two questions..1) replenish ( to fill up again)? does this mean the earth was filled before? 2) once replenished then what?
All original interpretations, greek, Aramaic, hebrew use the same “replenish” concept.
My thoughts 1) yes the earth was full before we are living in one of many ages. 2) we better figure this one out because there is such a thing as over fill.
