- In the Beginning: Why God Created by Speaking (Genesis 1)
What does and it was so mean in Genesis 1?
Two refrains run through Genesis 1. And it was so, wayehi ken (H1961), follows command after command: what God says comes to be at once. And it was good, ki tov (H2896), comes seven times, until at the end it becomes very good, tov meod (H3966) (Genesis 1:31). Good here means fit and ordered, doing exactly what it was spoken to do.
