What happensPermalink
From a chaotic void, God creates the world and everything in it over a period of six days (“evenings and mornings”). He commissions humans as stewards and gives them all the plants for food.
Why it mattersPermalink
The first three days create spaces (light and dark; sky and sea; dry land), and the second three days fill those spaces (sun, moon, and stars; birds and sea creatures; beasts of the earth and humans).
Key versePermalink
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
