God vormt Adam uit stof
God forms Adam from dust
Dutch
Dit is het verhaal van het ontstaan van de hemel en de aarde, toen God ze schiep. Er groeiden nog geen planten op de velden en er waren nog geen gewassen opgekomen. God had het namelijk nog niet laten regenen, en er was geen mens om de grond te bewerken.
English translation
This is the story of how the heavens and the earth came into being, when God created them. No plants had yet grown in the fields, and no crops had yet sprouted. For God had not yet caused it to rain, and there was no one to work the ground.
Dutch
Wel steeg er een nevel uit de aarde op, die de hele grond vochtig maakte.
English translation
But a mist rose from the earth, making the whole ground damp.
