In the first Chapter it is said, that God made the heavens, and the earth, in six dayes, and in this verse it is said, These are the gene∣rations of the heaven, and the earth, in the day that the Lord God made the earth, and the heavens.
From this place some would gather, that [Resp. 1] all the world was made in one day, and that Moses doth divide the creation into six dayes propter captum, that it might be the better understood.
Others conceive, that Moses relates to [ 2] that first matter or substance, of which all things were created: now this was made in one day.
Others think, with whom I close, that [ 3] Moses doth not speak strictly here, but in∣definitely, in the day the Lord made the earth, that is to say, in the time the Lord made the earth: so it is taken in other places of Scripture, To day if you will hear his voice, &c.
Psal 95.7.
