I read it as they themselves were to be fruitful, they themselves were to bear fruits, aka reproduce. Am I wrong?
"be fruitful and increase in number" is God giving man creative authority.
God always intended for man to live on the earth, hence why it was made. Man was both male and female COMBINED, that shows that sex was not originally intended for reproduction.
Adam had the power to form people up from the dust as God originally made him, but after the fall, he lost that authority and therefore can only reproduce through sex, but because of sin we must die and return back to the dust.
Upon the second coming of Jesus Christ (the second Adam), he calls the dead (in Christ) up from the dust like Adam should have done in the beginning.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first - 1 Thessalonians 4:16
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. - Isaiah 26:19
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. - Daniel 12:2
Isn't it funny how your own thoughts's interpretation corresponds exactly with the "correct" interpretation of the Bible?
