- In fact, we are only told about part of the creation!
- When you think about all the universe, a lot more was to be done!
- After each period of creation, you get the same expression!
Remember:
- Now let's have a look at what wikipedia says about the hebrew word yom:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom
Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:
Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish.[1][a] This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.[9] Strong's Lexicon yom is Hebrew #3117 יוֹם [10] The word Yom's root meaning is to be hot as the warm hours of a day.
Thus "yom", in its context, is sometimes translated as: "time" (Gen 4:3, Is. 30:8); "year" (I Kings 1:1, 2 Chronicles 21:19, Amos 4:4); "age" (Gen 18:11, 24:1 and 47:28; Joshua 23:1 and 23:2); "always" (Deuteronomy 5:29, 6:24 and 14:23, and in 2 Chronicles 18:7); "season" (Genesis 40:4, Joshua 24:7, 2 Chronicles 15:3); epoch or 24-hour day (Genesis 1:5,8,13,19,23,31) – see "Creationism", below.
Yom relates to the concept of time. Yom is not just for day, days, but for time in general. How yom is translated depends on the context of its use with other words in the sentence around it, using hermeneutics.[11]
The word day is used somewhat the same way in the English language, examples: "In my grandfather's day, cars did not go very fast" or "In the day of the dinosaurs there were not many mammals."
The word Yom is used in the name of various Jewish feast days; as, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement; Yom teruah (lit., day of shouting) the Feast of Trumpets.[12]
Yom is also used in each of the days of the week in the Hebrew calendar.

Interesting....
This fits in with what I've been tossing around in my mind for the past year or so....
I have, of late, tried to fit in the seeming discrepancy between Gen 1 and Gen 2, as to the creation of man and woman, who He told to go forth into the world and subdue it, etc.... versus the Gen 2 account of the creation of Adam (son of God), then Eve.
In a nutshell, I think that God created "mankind" on the 6th day.... telling them to have dominion over all the animals on the earth and all the fish in the sea. Where was the "sea" in the garden? Adam and Eve were meant to live in the garden, until they disobeyed God.
So, "mankind" was already on the earth before Adam and Eve were created. How long a time passed between those events? Could have been a million years, for all we know.
When Cain was driven away, he stated that "whoever finds me will kill me..." who would have that been, if he and Abel were the first two naturally born humans on earth? Who did Cain marry?
I think that starting with Gen 2, it is the story of the "chosen" ones of God, and the Bible is the history of those people....
Why was it necessary in Luke's mind to trace Jesus' lineage all the way back to Adam? If all men on earth were descendants of Adam, would that not be assumed?
Just some thoughts.... maybe the seeming discrepancy is NOT in the word, but in our understanding of it?

Remember:
Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.
This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.
Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:
The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.
Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

- In Chapter 23, Saul knows that David is in Keilah!
- And he thinks that Yah.weh has handed him over to him because he has trapped himself in the city!
- How is it possible to think that way?
- Yah.weh has rejected him!
- David has always escaped his attempts to kill him!
- People always make a film in their heads!
- But if you don’t make Yah.weh’s will, you can forget it!
- Same with mankind!
- On the contrary, David asks Yah.weh what the leaders of Keilah will do and if Saul will come against him!
- And Yah.weh tells him what’s going to happen!
- So David leaves the city with his men and escapes!
- Finally, Saul hears about David's escape so he doesn’t come against him!
- Two completely different attitudes!
- We should remember this episode!

Someone says :
The children of Ham, Shem and Japheth married many of their very own sisters.
Incest was God’s original plan of marriage but eventually the genetic code became corrupted and then that plan was modified to a distant relative marriage system. But for Polygamy / Plural wives marriage, this was never modified or changed by God, Only that a man is forbidden from marrying multiple women who are closely related, not from marrying multiple women - the commandment that stipulates that a man is forbidden to marry multiple wives is what simply is missing from the entire Bible - even stipulating that if a man is GOING TO HAVE multiple wives then he cannot marry closely related women, not stipulating that he is forbidden from polygamy.
But we are supposed to pretend and wish and imagine and play the narrative that God frowns and winks and scowls and - flashes hints and blurry cue cards and vague suggestions and fuzzy negative _ tip – offs _ about it - this is what the Translators impose and inject into the translations as they completely modify and change the passages from what the original says.
The original Hebrew word was - לצרר - tsârar - not generally used in a negative situation as ””
Lev 18:18 - The original manuscripts “”
ואשׁה And a woman - אל־אחתה with her sister - לא do not - תקח take -
לצרר tsârar them ( sisters ) gathered / them bundled … ( in marriage )
Other related forms of the “”” same exactly word “ that are not third personal pronouns are…..
Hos 4:19 The wind hath “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ her up in her wings,
Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven……….. who hath “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
1Sa 25:29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God;
Jos 9:4 They did work …………… and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and “ tsârar צָרַר and gathered / bundled bound “ up;
This Hebrew word also has many meaning in how the word is applied to the situation, it can be both very good or very bad…….. - it means to gather or bind or crowd together, - this word also can be used in a VERY, VERY negative situation.
Another related word is אָסַר - bonding / gathering / tying together - 'âsar - aw-sar'
Meaning ; to yoke or hitch; by analogy to fasten join - bind, fast, gird, harness, hold, keep, make ready, order, prepare, set in array, tie. - this word also can be used in a VERY, VERY negative situation
Num 30:11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ wherewith she
“ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul shall stand.
Num 30:8 ……….. he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
Num 30:7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul shall stand.
Num 30:6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ her soul;

Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost “ אָסַר - bond / gather / tie - aw-sar' “ of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph,
We notice here in the Translation that even here in - 1Sa 1: 6 - 7 the passage is again mistranslated Elkanah ...... had two wives - named Hannah and Peninnah: Peninnah had multiple children, - but Hannah had no children. the LORD had shut up her womb.
:6....... And HER adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
:7....... so SHE { HER adversary } provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
The translators again, alter, modify and change and manipulate and add a narrative to this passage.
This Hebrew word “ צרתה = anguishes, - afflictions - distress “ is used “ 73 total times “ - in the entire Manuscripts, and one single time - and one time only - the translators change this word into “ ADVERSARY “ the 72 other times they translate this word always as “ anguishes, troubled, afflictions, and distress. “
They needed his polygamous wife Hannah to have a horrible evil enemy and tormenter, another second wife who was her “ Her ADVERSARY,, Her Opponent,, Her Challenger,, Her Antagonist,, Her Rival and Her Persecutor “
:6 וכעסתה Her anger - “ צרתה = anguishes, - afflictions - distress “ -
גם־כעס also grief / sorrow - בעבור because - הרעמה she troubled -
כי־סגר since that shut - יהוה Jehovah / Yahwhea -
בעד for - רחמה׃ her whomb
6....... And HER adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb
:7 וכן And so - יעשׂה she did - שׁנה year - בשׁנה by year - מדי - too much -
עלתה rise up - בבית in the house - יהוה of Jehovah / Yahwhea
- כן so - תכעסנה grievious sorrow - ותבכה weeping -
ולא and not - תאכל׃ did eat
:7....... so SHE { HER adversary } provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
Again, the Translators invent and insert an imaginary boogie - woman in the background who is the other wife of the husband by altering and completely changing the passage. This is supposed to be based on the pretext and alleged reason of the reader suspecting that Hannah was being antagonized, tormented and persecuted because another woman / wife and her children { HER adversary } had received more possessions and property than Hannah had received. Hannah is filled with jealousy, hatred, anger, rage and bitterness / resentment : that she is enraged and infuriated to the point of starving herself to death because her husband is an evil polygamous who only cares about his other wife
Notice
1Sa 1:4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
:5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
But we find that her husband loved her and has a loving relationship and has sexual intercourse with her after the prophecy and she conceives shortly thereafter
1Sa 1:26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. :27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of.
We find that in order for Hannah to become God’s special lightening rod or Gods extension cord she did not have to demand that polygamy was evil and wicked and demand that her polygamous husband leave his other wife, Hannah goes home continuing to live a happy live in the Lord - a life of a polygamous Godly wife who bears a son who is the Prophet Of God Samuel, born out of polygamous Godly marriage.
