The Old Testament

GENESIS

Genesis 1

The First Seven Days

In the beginning there was no heaven and no earth and no darkness and no light and so God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. And He called the light Day . . . and the darkness, Night. And that was the first day.

     But when the light came up on the second day, God could see that His work was not done and sl He said, 'Let there be a sky,' and there was a sky!

     On the third day God could see He still had more work to do and so He created the dry land which He called the earth and the water which He called the seas, and very quickly there were grass and plants and trees with lovely fruits.

     On the fourth day God added to the sky the sun and the stars so that there would always be light.

     And on the fifth day there was so much beauty that God added living things to make it really complete. He created great whales and small fishes and birds that could fly above the green trees and the rich earth and the deep blue seas.

     God could see that all of this was good and beautiful and so, on the sixth day, He added every kind of animal - and then He created man!

     Bu the seventh day God was tired from all this work, so He rested and blessed the seventh day and made ot a day for all living things to rest.

     And then, when God had rested long enough, He planted a garden eastward in a place called Eden and there He put the man whome He had made.
