Scene 1 · Beginner

God forms Adam from dust

This is the story of how God made the earth and the heavens. No plants were growing in the fields yet. God had not sent rain, and there was no man to work the ground. But a mist rose from the earth and watered the ground.

God made a man, Adam, from the dust of the ground. He breathed into the man's nose, and the man came to life.
