The Bible frequently uses anthropomorphic language to describe God. Phrases such as "the mighty hand of the Lord" are true statements about God, though they are metaphorical, using the form of man to reveal God's being.

Very interesting points. Never noticed how if you just read the Pentateuch you might assume God has a physical body.
Thank God for all the further revelation He has given so as to know Him more rightly.

So personally i believe that when it says the trees of the fields clap their hands it means that The Holy Spirit fills everything in nature. People are the only created beings with a sin nature and need to believe and repent. Bible says all creation groans to be released from the corruption caused by human sin.
