When he saw that it was pitch black, he picked up his great axe and slashed at the darkness before him.

I heard a loud bang, and the chaotic things gradually separated. What is light and clear, slowly rises, and becomes the sky; Something heavy and cloudy, slowly descending, turned into the ground. After the heavens and the earth were separated, Pangu was afraid that they would still be together, so he put his head on the sky and kicked the ground with his feet.

In the time of Yao, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, scorching the land, drying up the crops, and the people were so hot that they fell to the ground unconscious. Because of the scorching heat, some strange birds and beasts of prey also ran out of the dry rivers and lakes and the flame-like forests, killing people everywhere.

The calamity on earth alarmed the heavenly god, the Emperor of Heaven.

God created the heavens and the earth. The earth is empty and chaotic, and the abyss is dark; The Spirit of God hovers over the waters. And God said:

Let there be light", and there was light. God saw that light was good, and He separated light from darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness night.

And there was evening and there was morning, and God said, Let there be air between the waters, and let the waters be up and down. "And God made the air, and took away the water that was under the air, and the moisture that was above the air.

And so it came to pass. God called the air heaven. There is evening, there is morning.

God said, "Let the waters under heaven be gathered together in one place, and the dry land will be exposed." And so it came to pass.

And God called the dry land the earth, and the gathering place of the waters the sea. God looks good. And God said:

And the earth shall produce grass, and herbs that bear seed, and trees that bear fruit, every kind, and the fruit shall be covered with pits. And so it came to pass. So the earth came forth grass and seed-bearing herbs, each according to its kind; And the trees that bear fruit, every according to their kind, and the fruit is covered with kernels.

God looks good. There is evening, there is morning. And God said:

And there shall be a body of light in heaven, which may divide day and night, and make signs, and shall set seasons, days, and years, and shall shine in the heavens, and upon the earth. And so it came to pass. So God made two great lights, two great lights

Refers to the sun and moon. And the great ones were in charge of the day, and the little ones were in charge of the night, and they made the stars, and they set these lights in the heavens, and shone them on the earth, and they ruled over the day and the night, and made light and dark. God looks good.

There is evening, there is morning. God said, "Let the waters multiply with living things, and let birds fly above the earth and in the sky."

And God made great fish, and every living creature that grew out of the waters, according to their kinds; And he made every kind of bird, every according to his kind. God looks good. And God blessed all this, saying:

and multiply and fill the waters of the sea, and the birds shall multiply on the earth. There is evening, there is morning. And God said:

The earth will bring forth living creatures, every man according to his kind; Livestock, insects, wild beasts, each according to its kind. And so it came to pass. So God made the beasts, every according to his kind; livestock, each according to its kind; All the creeping things of the earth, according to their kinds.

God looks good. He made man in his own imageAnd God said:

We are to follow us: God in the Bible is the only God, and the plural "we" here refers to the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. and made man in our likeness, that they might rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle of the earth, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

God created man in his own image, but he made man and woman in his image. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth with subjugation; and ruler over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves on the earth.

God said, "Behold, I will give you food from all the plants that bear seed upon the earth, and every seed that bears fruit from every tree." As for the beasts of the earth, and the birds of the air, and every living thing that creeps on the earth, I will give them grass for food.

And so it came to pass. God saw all that was made very good. There is evening, there is morning.
