THE DIVINE RECORD. 
I Genesis. I.y.2. ‘And the Earth was without form, and void. 
And Darkness was upon the face of the deep.” 
v.3. ‘And God sazd ‘ let there be light.’ 
And God called the Light Day, and the Darkness he called Night.” 
“ One Day” (Revised Version) not “ Zhe first Day.” 
v.9. “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place and 
let the dry land appear.” —‘‘A SECOND Day” (R.V.) not necessarily consecutive. 
Ill. v.ur. “ Let the earth bring forth grass.’— The fruit tree yielding fruit.” 
Without doubt to support life—yet itis not said until the date when the Mam- 
malia, including man, had been placed upon the globe—that is to say the 
Tertiary Age. “ Behold I have given you every herb yielding seed, &c., and 
every tree in the which ts the fruit ofa tree, &c., to you tt shall be for meat.” 
“A THIRD DAY.” 
IV. y.v. 14, 16, 17. Again God says “‘ Let there be lights,’—and repeats their effect from 
verse 4, “to divide the day from the night,’ &c., “ for Seasons.” 
And now bearing in mind first that there is no punctuation in the Hebrew: and 
second that in translating it isallowable, nay necessary to alter verbal arrangements, 
e.g. ‘‘ Ingenuas didicisse fideliter artes” we read the Revised Version thus 
“ And God said let there be lights, &c., and the two great lights God made 
the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night the stars 
also.” The words ‘ He made’ (the stars) are interpolated—" a FOURTH Day.” 
V. y.20. “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath 
life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” 
As I have elsewhere remarked Dr. Reville and his school ought not to succeed in 
convincing students that Moses thought the firmament a ‘sfeveoma’ in the 
sense of a ‘solid vauit’ in the face of this description.— Whaz/ are these Flying 
Fowl? Fish, Pterodactyls, or the earliest Birds ? 
Evolution teaches that the Birds come from the Reptiles, or from Fish—and here 
some might find a warrant, for we are told “the Waters bring forth, &c., the 
moving creature, &c., and Fowl.” 
The Translation was made when it could nct be forseen that the Word would be 
“ tried to the uttermost” by a Science not then born. The value of accuracy 
is here seen, for the R.V. says “ And /e¢ Fowl fly above the earth.” Cutting off 
the Waters as their origin. 
v.21 “And God created great Whales’—“ great sea monsters ‘—(R.V.) ‘ And 
every winged Fowl,’ and y. 22," let Fowl multiply upon the earth.” “ A FIFTH 
DAY.” 
VI. v.24. “And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his 
hind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and 
zt was so.” 
v.26. “And God said, let us make man tn our image.” 
VII. Ch. III. v.14. “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, &c., upon thy belly 
shalt thou go.”
