בְּרִיאַת הָעוֹלָם
Briat HaOlam
b-ree-AT ha-O-lam
God created the world in seven days.
On day one, God said “Let there be light” and separated light from darkness.
On day two, He created an expanse between water on the earth and the water in the sky.
On day three, He gathered the waters together in one place so that land could appear.
On day four, He created the sun, the moon and the stars to light up the sky.
On day five, He filled the waters with fish and the air with birds.
On day six, He made animals and then formed Adam out of dust and breathed life into him. Eve was created from a rib that was extracted from Adam.
On day seven, God rested from creating.
The Israel Bible is the world’s first Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) centered around the Land of Israel, the People of Israel, and the dynamic relationship between them.
