Genesis 1:24-25 Commentary
(24) And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. (25) And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Gen 1:24-25)
Verses 24-25: The beasts are the production of the sixth day. The earth, prolific, now as the seas before, pours forth her offspring. The grazing herds, the various reptiles, and ravening inhabitants of the forest, each in his kind suited to answer the purposes of his Maker, and to fill the place assigned him in the rank of beings. Let cavilers question the use of many beasts of prey, or animals that appear a burden rather than a blessing: it is enough for the believer that God saw it was good, to silence all skeptical reasoning. Though we may not know how at present, we shall know fully hereafter.
