Point three, blessing comes before calling. Verse 28, it says it starts with this, and God bless them. That comes before anything else is is said. Before any word of instruction, before any mandate is given to humanity, God blesses. Before the to do list, right, the responsibilities that are named, we are named and then we a gift of blessing is given. Before humanity is entrusted with anything, humanity is affirmed by God through this blessing. The blessing is spoken first, then the commands follow.
