The Genesis - The Creation of the Universe The Hebrew Text Divides the Creation into Six Phases, even though it could possibly be discussed in up to 15 separate topics; each phase covering many years of time, Phase 1: The universe is created [1] with a useless earth in darkness, [2] earth is under the protection and working of the Spirit [3], and then light is provided. [4] Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (the universe); Gen 1:2 and the earth was desolate and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God brooded (like a protecting hen) on the surface of the waters, Gen 1:3 then God said, Let there be light! And there was light. Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. Gen 1:5 And God called the light, yôm (Day). And He called the darkness, layil (Night). And there were evenings, and there were mornings the first time. Phase 2: The earth's atmosphere is prepared such that it can contain clouds and humidity separate from the waters on the surface of the earth as vapor comes from the seas. [5] Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between the seas and the clouds. Gen 1:7 And God made the expanse that divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; And it was done. Gen 1:8 And God called the expanse shâmayim (Heavens ). And there were evenings, and there were mornings the second time. Phase 3: The surface of the earth under goes a reshaping allowing dry land to appear [6] and on which abundant kinds of vegetation sprout and grow. [7] Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was done. Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land, 'erets (Soil/Ground). And He called the collection of the waters, yâm (Seas). And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the land sprout tender sprouts, the plant yielding its seed, the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in it, upon the land. And it was done. Gen 1:12 And the land bore tender sprouts, the plant yielding seed according to its kind, and the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, containing its seed. And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:13 And there were evenings, and there were mornings the third time. Phase 4: The atmosphere is clearing over time so that the items in space become more visible from the earth, when clouds clear [8], and the sun's energy gives us seasonal and time changes. [9] Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years. Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was done. Gen 1:16 And God made the two great lights: the great light to rule the day, and the small light and the stars to rule the night. Gen 1:17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth, Gen 1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night; and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:19 And there were evenings, and there were mornings the fourth time. Phase 5: Numerous forms of animal life grow in the seas [10] and also birds in the air. [11] Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters abound with moving living creatures; and let the birds fly over the earth, in the open expanse of the heavens. Gen 1:21 And God created the great sea animals, and all living creatures, which moved in the waters, according to its kind; and every bird with wings according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas; and the birds are to multiply on the earth. Gen 1:23 And there were evenings, and there were mornings the fifth time. Phase 6: Many kinds of land animals appear [12], and the creation of living life is completed with humans, male and female, which had characteristics patterned after the Heavenly Beings, [13] and the humans are to rule over all living on the earth [14], and food has been provided for all. [15] So all is very good and the creation has been completed! Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the land bring forth the living creatures according to its kind: cattle, and crawling animals, and the beasts of the ground, according to its kind. And it was done. Gen 1:25 And God made the beasts of the ground according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all crawling animals of the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:26 And God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the crawling things on the land. Gen 1:27 And God created the man in His own image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. Gen 1:28 And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the seas, and over birds of the heavens, and over all beasts crawling on the land. Gen 1:29 And God said, Be aware that I have given you every plant bearing seed which is on the surface of all the land, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree bearing seed; it will be your food. Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to all birds of the heavens, and to every crawling animal on the earth which is a living creature, every green plant will their food. And it was done. Gen 1:31 And God saw everything that He had done and was exceedingly pleased that it was very good. And there were evenings, and there were mornings the sixth time. Gen 2:1 (GNB) And so the whole universe was completed. Gen 2:2 By the seventh time God had finished his work, and so he rested. Gen 2:3 God blessed the seventh time and made it special because on that time he rested from his work. Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were accomplished, in the time that the LORD God was making the earth and the heavens, Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field was not yet on the land, and every herb of the field before it sprouted: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was not a man to till the ground.
