How many generations did it take for the heaven and the earth to be created in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens?

How long where each generation?

Generation does not always refer to a time span. This is the meaning from Strong's: From H3205; (plural only) descent, that is, family; (figuratively) history: - birth, generations.

In this scripture, it basically says that "This is the history of the heaven and the earth when they were created.'

I stress once again, that the generations here does NOT refer to a time span such as the term 'one generation'. It means history.

All that it re

H8435

תּוֵֹלדוֹת
tôlēḏôṯ: A feminine noun meaning a generation. This key Hebrew word carries with it the notion of everything entailed in a person's life and that of his or her progeny (Gen_5:1; Gen_6:9). In the plural, it is used to denote the chronological procession of history as humans shape it. It refers to the successive generations in one family (Gen_10:32); or a broader division by lineage (Num_1:20 ff.). In Gen_2:4, the word accounts for the history of the created world.


And at that point the history of the created world was about 7 days long.

What is the Hebrew word for generations that means generations?

 

[thisistheendtimes]

According to whatever context/reference point is being referred to, it is likely that there always IS an 'element' of "time" in using the word "generations" (there may be other "elements" that are being referred to.....tribal worship, or "the judges", events, etc.(to my understanding, both words are obselete for the true worshipper).

Presently, we are in the sabbath era, the age of eternity (so thar our sabbath rest in Jesus be eternal). Even though the concept of the "promised messiah" is spoken of all throughout O.T. scripture, the Jews did not choose to worship anybody but The Father only (Jesus was not GIVEN to the O.T. generations,but they could have decided on their own to do what King David when The Father said to David's lord "Sit at my right hand").

In the desert, God told them that they shall never enter His [sabbath] rest (they did not belong to the sabbath era of Jesus)

Luke 11:29
"This generation is an evil generation".

Seeking signs is like wanting PROOF (that desire destroys faith, even if you can, NEVER "prove" God).

Jesus came in the fulness of time (the completion and end of time). He ended the age of time and ushered in the age of eternity (a "generation" can only be relevant to "time").

Ephesians 1:10
"as a plan for the fulness of time".

Luke 18:30 and Mark 10:30
"and in the age to come eternal life.".

Our sabbath rest in Jesus is FOREVER/eternal. Every day, we live the present part of eternity. Our 'afterlife' destiny is going to be the same as our daily mindset. In Jesus, we no longer have MERE EXISTENCE, we have LIFE ("THE LIFE" eternal).

In John 14:6, Jesus said....

1) "I am THE WAY

2) ".....THE TRUTH" (God had Pilate say "What is truth?", the state delared the OBJECTIVE truth about Jesus's innocence).

3) "....THE LIFE".

"Generations" (functions of "time") were evil (God is not a function of time).
