King James Version
5 I made me gardens and orchards,
and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith
the wood that bringeth forth trees:
I was just curious.
How were trees created?
What trees existed in ancient times?
What trees were mentioned in the Bible?
What were the earliest record of "trees"?
What did Scripture say about these trees?
Here's where SPIRIT led me.
First record of trees.
Genesis 1:11-13
King James Version
11 And God said,
Let the earth bring forth grass,
the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,
whose seed is in itself, upon the earth:
and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass,
and herb yielding seed after his kind,
and the tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning
were the third day.
The two vital trees.
Genesis 2:8-9
King James Version
8 And the Lord God planted
a garden eastward in Eden;
and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow
every tree that is pleasant to the sight,
and good for food;
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The "instructions".
Genesis 2:15-17
King James Version
15 And the Lord God took the man,
and put him into the garden of Eden
to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.
Did man follow GOD's instructions?
