This episode of the One Verse Podcast might be the strangest one yet. We’re going to talking about oceans of bunnies and mountains of spiders, and what both have to do with Genesis 1:11-12.

If you want to hear something you’ve probably never heard before, listen to the Podcast below!

The Text of Genesis 1:11-12

Genesis 1:11-12. Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

In this discussion of Genesis 1:11-12 we look at:

* Why there are two actions of God on Day 3 of Creation.

* How Day 3 serves as a literary “hinge” between Days 1-3 and Days 4-6.

* Whether there are 1, 2, or 3 types of plants mentioned in Genesis 1:11-12.

* What it means for plants to bear seed “after their kind.”

* Why death is necessary for creation to properly function.

* What the plant cycle before the Fall teaches us about spiritual cycles in our own lives.
