Illustration for the scene “God forms Adam from dust”

Scene 1 · Intermediate

Gud former Adam af støv

God forms Adam from dust

Danish

Her begynder fortællingen om dengang Gud skabte jorden og himlen. Der voksede endnu ingen planter på marken, og ingen urter var spiret frem. Gud havde nemlig ikke ladet det regne, og der var heller ingen til at dyrke jorden. Men en tåge steg op fra jorden og fugtede hele dens overflade.

English translation

Here begins the story of when God created the earth and the sky. No plants were growing in the fields yet, and no herbs had sprouted. That was because God had not sent rain and there was no one to work the ground either. But a mist rose from the ground and moistened its whole surface.

Danish

Af jordens støv formede Gud mennesket Adam. Han blæste liv ind gennem Adams næsebor, og Adam blev et levende menneske.

English translation

God formed the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed life into Adam through his nostrils, and Adam became a living human being.
