1 And so the whole universe was completed.
2 By the seventh day God finished what he had been doing and stopped working.
3 He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as a special day, because by that day he had completed his creation and stopped working.
4 And that is how the universe was created.When the Lord in Word List God made the universe,
5 there were no plants on the earth and no seeds had sprouted, because he had not sent any rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land;
6 but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground.
7 Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.
