Isaiah XLV, iS, "Thus saith the 

 Lord that created (bara) the heavens; 

 God Himself that formed (assahj the 

 earth and (yatsar) it; he hath estab- 

 lished it; he created (bara) it; not in 

 vain (bohu); he formed (assah) it to 

 be inhabited. " 



Gen. I, 2. It came to be a wreck 

 and a ruin. Gen. I, 28. God said 

 unto them, be fruitful and multiply 

 and replenish the earth, etc. The 

 above shows us that it had been filled 

 before, became empty and needed to 

 be filled again. 



The word bara is used four times in 

 Gen. I, vi^: in the 1st verse, the 21st, 

 and twice in the 27th. 



The word (assah) means to prepare 

 or make ready. In Gen. I, 8 it is 

 rendered "made";in Lev. VII.9(assah) 

 is rendered "dressed"; also in I Sam. 

 XXV, 18 it is rendered the same; 

 Ex. XXXVIII, 24 it is translated as 

 "occupied";Gen. XXX, 30 it is render- 

 ed "provided"; II Chron. XXXII, 27 it 

 is also rendered "provided"; Job XX, 8 

 it is rendered "fashioned" ;Is. XLIV, 13 

 "fitted";Gen.1, 1 5 God made two great 

 light-holders, etc. 



In Mr. Coopei's article, page 178, 

 the word for made is fassah) and not 

 (bara). Gen. II, 7. And the Lord 

 God formed (yatsar) man, etc. Gen. 

 II, 8. And there he put the man 

 whom he had formed (yatsar), etc. 



The Hebrew word "yatsar" i? a word 

 derived from the noun which is the 

 common word for potter in the Bible, 

 hence the meaning is moulded or 

 formed. 



I would here call attention to the 

 fact that the words created, made and 

 formed are three differing English 

 words, hence they do not mean the 

 same thing. This is just as true of 

 bara, assah and yatsar and t/icr do 

 not mean the same thing. 



Gen. V, 27 states that Methuselah 

 lived 969 years, not 999 as stated on 

 page 178. 



"There is no doubt but what the 

 deeper the research and knowledge of 

 geology is extended the closer to ab- 



solute exactness will the harmony be 

 between Genesis and science." 



"Geology has nothing to do with 

 the Bible, so far as I know, other 

 than the Pentateuchal account of the 

 creation, and as time goes on the sup- 

 posed breach between these two will 

 be less and less, for every discovery in 

 the field of geology is met by a 

 strengthening of the Mosaic account.
