God looked at the light and saw that it was good. He separated light from darkness

And that's what happened. God made the dome

The earth produced all kinds of vegetation. God looked at what he had done, and it was good.

Then God put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth,

to rule day and night, and to separate light from darkness. God looked at what he had done, and it was good.

So God made the giant sea monsters and all the living creatures that swim in the ocean. He also made every kind of bird. God looked at what he had done, and it was good.

God made every one of them. Then he looked at what he had done, and it was good.

So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women.

God gave them his blessing and said: Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the ocean, the birds in the sky, and every animal on the earth.

God looked at what he had done. All of it was very good! Evening came, then morning—that was the sixth day.

The Seventh Day

By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested.

God blessed the seventh day and made it special, because on that day he rested from his work.

That's how God created the heavens and the earth.

The Garden of Eden

When the Lord God made the heavens and the earth,

no grass or plants were growing anywhere. God had not yet sent any rain, and there was no one to work the land.

The Lord God filled the garden with all kinds of beautiful trees and fruit trees. Two other trees were in the middle of the garden. One of these gave life—the other gave the wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong.

The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it.

So the Lord God made him fall into a deep sleep, and he took out one of the man's ribs. Then after closing the man's side,

the Lord made a woman out of the rib. The Lord God brought her to the man,

Late in the afternoon, when the breeze began to blow, the man and woman heard the Lord God walking in the garden. So they hid behind some trees.

Then the Lord God made clothes out of animal skins for the man and his wife.

So the Lord God sent them out of the Garden of Eden, where they would have to work the ground from which the man had been made.

Then God put winged creatures at the entrance to the garden and a flaming, flashing sword to guard the way to the life-giving tree.

Descendants of Adam

God created men and women to be like himself. He gave them his blessing and called them human beings. The following is a list of the descendants of Adam, the first man:

and during the next 300 years he had more children. Enoch truly loved God,

and God took him away at the age of 365.
