Bible Stories

Genesis 1:26 And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 1:27 And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”

Genesis 1:29 And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,

Genesis 1:30 and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.

Genesis 2:15 Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.

Genesis 2:16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.

Genesis 2:17 But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”

Genesis 2:18 The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”

Genesis 2:19 Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.

Genesis 2:20 And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.

Genesis 2:21 And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.

Genesis 2:22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.

Genesis 2:23 And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”

Genesis 2:24 For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.

Genesis 2:25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
