    In Genesis, the uses of phrases such as "God said" and "God saw", don't make much sense if considered literally. Why would "God saw" ever be used of an omniscient entity? However they make total sense if you think about them in a more abstract sense. So "God said to Adam..." may mean that Adam perceived the truth of the thing from God, perhaps by means of conscience, perhaps by revelation. Whereas "God said, let there be..." means the divine dictate itself, and the divine purpose.
