Interesting hypotheses. I’ll have to ask God about them after I die.

The problem with a lot of this “educated speculation” on what is meant by the words used in the Genisis account of creation is that the information is incomplete. Or, a better explanation would be that it is incomplete within the context of what we humans actually know. I think that much of the bible, when dealing with things spiritual or without eyewitness account, is akin to explaining the color “red” to a person that only sees grayscale. It is amazing it is able to communicate anything at all.

I am also reminded of the line in a song by the group Genesis: “They’re trying to find themselves an audience. Their deductions need applause.”

There is nothing I wrote you that had anything to do with anticipation of an audience let alone an applause... Over and OUT!!!
