People of the World where are you going? Turn back to God! Back to your faithful principles!
THE CREATION OF MAN AND WOMAN THE FALL
The Creation of Man and Woman. Then the LORD God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit].
THE SEVENTH DAY BLESSED AND SET APART
So God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it [as His own, that is, set it apart as holy from other days], because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and done.
THE CREATION OF THE WOLRD DAY FIVE AND DAY SIX
God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
God’s day started in the evening and ended the following day just before Sunset.
And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
THE CREATION OF THE WORLD
The Creation of the World. In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth.
OUTLINE OF THE BOOK GENESIS
The name is the Greek word for “beginning,” and was selected by the translators of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. This version was known as the Septuagint (frequently indicated by LXX), because it was said the translators numbered seventy men. It was made for the Jews of “the Dispersion” dwelling in Egypt and elsewhere, who had become unfamiliar with the language of their fathers.
“For us the supreme sanction of the Old Testament is that which it derived from Christ Himself. . . . What was indispensable to the Redeemer must always be indispensable to the redeemed.”
—Professor G. A. Smith
