GENESIS 1:24
 

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so." [AKJV]
 

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.” [NKJV]

In the Bible verse above, the Word of God began to work with and through the earth in bringing forth, discovering and sustaining, all kinds of living creatures that could only be discovered and manifested through the earth as the sole source of access to them.
 

This Word of God also empowered the earth to become a Founder, an Author, an Initiator or a Begetter, of those new living things or living innovations they brought forth. As the waters (seas) were, so was the earth also the founder, author, beggeter, of those living creatures God created to have life and movements on and through the earth. For the earth brought them forth to manifestation out of invisibility or obscurity, and established them into being according to their kinds without compromising their uniqueness, differences, varieties, and abundance.
 

Mankind discovered and founded many great things in the earth, but before they began doing so the earth herself had been a great inventor, technologist and procreator, of living systems, living mechanisms or living sophisticated machines through nature, science and supernatural doctrine of God. Nature itself teaches and gives experiences, discoveries (knowledge) and applied wisdom to mankind and to creatures (1 Corinthians 11:14).
 

God spoke the Word that both permitted and persuaded the earth to bring forth living Creatures of different kinds, cattle, creepers or crawlers and beasts, of various kinds out of the earth. Those living creatures were to be born of the earth and to be part of the earth as their source and habitation; but all things trust and obey the Voice of God's Word irrespective of their sources and habitations. And therefore, the earth began to support both life and living on the earth and under heaven.

Commentaries:

Being a beast of the Earth was fulfilling God's Word here, but being wicked never fulfilled God's word. The Word of God made the earth to understand differences as kindness and varieties as flavoring spice of life among living creatures. The same Word of God would make your heart and mind see differences in the body of Christ as various kinds of goodness and oneness, not as competition or threat. We must respect and embrace our differences that fulfill the Will of God.

Bible Teacher:

When God said this Word, it became so: for the earth indeed brought forth the living creatures according to their various kinds under three groups/Categories: 
 

• 1. Group of Cattle - [Living Creatures whose mouth or teeth were not meant for fighting or killing: Hence, Behemah]

• 2. Group of Beasts - [Living Creatures whose mouth, teeth, tongues/spittle, Stings or Claws, were meant for fighting or killing]
   
• 3. Group of Creepers/Crawlers - [Special Living Creatures both among Cattle and Beasts that crawls or creeps when traveling because they must always keep both their heads and stomach very close to the ground while moving, and if they sleep they must lie down on their stomach side to the ground/wall bearing them — mostly showing the world their back sides while hiding/protecting their stomach side]
   

However, this Word of God did not make the earth bring forth "Mankind;" for no living creature took after mankind as its kind. Mankind was not a "Kind" or "Category" known to the earth by then, and so no living creature came into being in the kindness or likeness of a man, though some apes came closest in resemblance to Mankind.
 

By default, Mankind is an "Upright Being," (not bent over creature), able to stand and walk uprightly like Joseph's Shelf in his first Bible dream, while earthly living creatures were basically like the sheaves of Joseph's brothers bowing down in motion compared to Joseph's Shelf. Moreover, Mankind is not just a living creature, but a Living Soul.
 

Therefore, neither the earth nor the waters of the seas could bringforth the living creature called "Man" after whatever kind or likeness the earth or sea was able to architect or fathom. The information for the formation of "Man-Kind" was not in the earth or waters, but was in the Godhead. Therefore in all the living creatures the earth (or sea) could bringforth, it could never have brought forth man, unless God took the man out from the ground by Himself.
