Geography and the Bible "The
phenomena of environment were depended on God alone (Psalms
104:27-30). Indeed, the Hebrews had no word for "nature," no
conception of anything but the ultimate control of God, to
whom all things were responsible (Hos. 2:21-22). Modern
environmental sciences may be much clearer than the Hebrews
were on the immediate creative and regulative physical
powers operating in the physical world, but the Hebrews'
recognition of God, as the ultimate agent of creation, gave
them insight into a realm which science makes no pretense to
know. J. M.
