DAY 1: In the beginning earth was empty and formless, but the spirit of God was always
there. And God said “let there be light” and there was light. God saw that light was good, so
he separated the light from the dark and called the light “Day” and the dark “Night”.
DAY 2: On the second day, God made a vault to separate the water above the vault and water
below the vault. God then called the vault “Sky”
DAY 3: On the third day, God gathered all the water in one place and let dry ground appear.
God called the water “Sea” and the dry ground “Land”. Then God said “let the land produce
vegetation” and made trees, fruits, plants and vegetables.
DAY 4: On the fourth day, God made lights in the vault of the sky and called them “Stars”.
Then he made a light to govern the night called “Moon”. God then made a light to give earth
light and he called it “Sun”
\
DAY 5: On the fifth day, God said “let the water thrive with living creatures and let birds fly
across the vault of the sky”. So, God created the great creature of the sea and created every
living bird according to its kind.
DAY 6: On day six God created the creatures of land, he created the livestock, according to
its kind and wild animals according to its kind, and the animals moved around the land
according to its kind. Then God said “let us make mankind in our own image” he created the
first male called Adam and then made a female from one of Adam’s ribs and called her Eve.
Adam and Eve were allowed to live happily together in God’s kingdom. God told Adam and
Eve to fill the earth and subdue it, to rule over every living creature.
DAY 7: On the seventh day, God saw that all the creations he made were good, so on this
day, God rested, making this day a holy day.
