Genesis 1: Beginning right

Apr 30, 07 • Genesis, Structure2 CommentsRead More »

This chapter is the beginning of the Bible, and beginnings are important. We learn why the world was made, and how God is “different”.

Among other structural details we will notice is this one (the diagramme may help as you listen):

Day Creation Day Creation
One Light Four Luminaries
Two Water and Sky Five Birds and Sea Creatures
Three Land and Vegetation Six Land animals (inc. Humans)
