As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou, which gives life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: even so it might now also bear them that now be present at once.

About This Quote

The Bible is filled with quote, but there is one that I find interesting. It says, “As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou, which gives life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: even so it might now also bear them that now are present at once.” I have always found this quote interesting because it seems to imply that man was created right along with the world. This is clarified further in the next verse which says “and all these things, which are seen of thee, are only the work of thy hands.” It is quite possible that God would have created Adam and Eve together with the rest of the world. If this was indeed the case, then it would make sense for God to give life at once to “the creature that thou hast created” because Adam and Eve were already alive. The fact that they were also gonna be present at once suggests they were alive before God gave them life.
