GENESIS 1:26-31
The Sixth Day
God said, "Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures."
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.
I have provided all kinds of fruit and grain for you to eat.
And I have given the green plants as food for everything else that breathes.
These will be food for animals, both wild and tame, and for birds.
God looked at what he had done.
All of it was very good! Evening came and then morning--that 1was the sixth day.
GENESIS 2:1-4
So the heavens and the earth and everything else were created.
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. When the LORD God made the heavens and the
earth. |
