Genesis Chapter 1

In the beginning of time, God created the universe. On the first day, God commanded “Let there be light” - and light appeared. He then named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night”.  On the second day, God commanded “Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places”. He named the dome “Sky”.

On the third day, God commanded “Let the water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear”. The land was named “Earth,” and the water which had come together he named “Sea”. Also on the third day, God commanded “Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit”. 

On the fourth day, God commanded “Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals will begin so they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth”. So then God made the sun for the day time and the moon and stars for the night. This helped to separate light from darkness. On the fifth day, God commanded “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.” This meant that God had created all the sea creatures and all kinds of birds. On the sixth day, God commanded “Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small”. 

On the same day, God said, “And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, and the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small.” God created humans to reflect his image and likeness. He made them male and female. God said to them “Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. I am putting you in charge of the fish, the birds, and all the wild animals. I have provided all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat, but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided the grass and leafy plants for food.”

On the seventh day, God stopped working because the whole universe and creations had been completed. He set the seventh day apart as a special day. He blessed everything He created and was very pleased.
