Just a quick note on "day" in these passages. The interpretation of YOM has been a major bone of contention with the Creationist camp insisting that "day" always means only a 24 hour period and others pointing out that Gen 2:4 "in the day" summarises the whole of the creation effort and that the sun itself (that one would expect to be a necessary ingredient for 24 hours to come into effect) is not created till the fourth day.

If the author(s) has deliberately made chronology into a secondary matter, then "the day" here could indeed be meant figuratively, indefinitely, or even  prospectively.
