The Creation Story
00:01:31
Speaker
So without any further ado, let's begin day one, when time began.
00:01:38
Speaker
To begin with, God made the earth and space. The earth had no shape. There was nothing on it. It was dark. But God's spirit floated above the water. Let's have some light, said God. The light glowed. God saw that the light was good. He named it day. He named the dark night.
00:02:08
Speaker
So evening came, then morning came. This was the first day. Then the second day came. Let's have some wide open air around the earth, said God. It will keep the water below away from the water above. So God made the space. He named it sky.
00:02:34
Speaker
The third day came. God said, let the water below come together. Let dry ground show. So the water came together. God named it sea. The dry ground showed. God named it earth. Then God said, let the earth grow different kinds of plants and trees.
00:03:01
Speaker
Let plants and trees make fruit with seeds, and let the seeds make more plants and trees. These will be like the ones they came from. So plants grew. God saw that this was good. The fourth day came. God said, let lights shine in the sky. They will show day and night.
00:03:27
Speaker
They will show seasons, days, and years. They will bring light to earth. Two bright lights shone. The sun for the day and the moon for the night. God put stars in the sky too. Then the fifth day came. God said, let animals fill the water. Let birds fly across the sky.
00:03:55
Speaker
Then God made every kind of sea animal. He made every kind of bird. And he saw that this was good. He said, let the fish make more fish like themselves. Let the birds make more birds like themselves. The sixth day came. God said, let all kinds of animals come to life. So God made all kinds of wild animals.
00:04:25
Speaker
He made all the animals that move on land. Each animal was able to make more animals like itself. And God saw that this was good. Then God said, let's make people to be like us. They can be in charge of the fish and birds and cows. They can take care of the earth and all the animals. So God made people like himself. First, he made a man from dust.
00:04:54
Speaker
Then God breathed life into Adam and he came alive. God told Adam, I'm giving you all plants that have seeds. I'm giving you all trees that have fruit with seeds. This is your food. And I'm giving all green plants to the animals for food. Then God looked at everything he had made. He saw that it was very good.
00:05:24
Speaker
Then the so the earth and space were made. God finished making everything by the seventh day. Then he rested from his work. God said the seventh day is good and special. It is holy. That's when he rested from making everything.
Life in the Garden of Eden
00:05:47
Speaker
Adam's helper. This comes from chapter two in Genesis.
00:05:54
Speaker
Now God had planted a garden in Eden. It was in the east. God had put beautiful fruit trees in the garden. Two different trees grew in the middle of the garden. There was a tree of life, and there was a tree of knowing good and bad. A river flowed out of the garden of Eden. It parted to make other rivers. One was the Pishon River, and it winds through a land that has gold.
00:06:23
Speaker
Another was the Gihon River. Two more were the Tigris River and the Euphrates River. God put Adam in the Garden of Eden. Adam could work there and take care of the garden. God said, you may eat fruit from the trees, but you may not eat from the tree of knowing good and bad. You will die if you eat from that tree.
00:06:52
Speaker
Then God said, it's not good for Adam to be alone. I'll make a helper for him. Now God had made all the animals. So he showed them to Adam. He wanted to see what Adam would call them. And an animal's name became whatever Adam called it. Adam named all the animals. But God did not find any animal that was able to help Adam. him So God made Adam go to sleep Adam slept very deeply. Then God took one rib from Adam. He made a woman from it. God showed the woman to Adam. Adam said, I will call her woman because she came from a man. Adam and his wife did not wear clothes, but they did not feel bad about it.
