Scene 1 · Beginner
God maakte de hemel en de aarde. Eerst groeiden er nog geen planten op het land. God had het nog niet laten regenen en er was nog geen mens om op het land te werken. Wel kwam er mist uit de aarde. Die maakte de grond nat.
The LORD God made the heavens and the earth. At first, no plants had yet grown on the land. God had not yet made it rain, and there was no human being to work the land. But mist rose from the earth. It made the ground wet.
God maakte een mens van het stof van de grond. Die mens was Adam. God blies adem in zijn neus en zo begon Adam te leven.
The LORD God made a man from the dust of the ground. That man was Adam. God breathed into his nose, and Adam began to live.
