GEN42 The nature of animals differs from that of man. That of animals (i.e. instincts and tendencies) is fully formed at birth. Hence, God was able to immediately judge that their creation was good. Humans, though born with great potential, may, after many years, turn out, to be good or not good, to perfect or to destroy. Hence, in contrast to animals, God did not pronounce man’s creation “good.” See also Genesis 1:31.
