Illustration for the scene “God forms Adam from dust”

Scene 1 · Beginner

Dieu façonne Adam avec la poussière

God forms Adam from dust

French

Quand l'Éternel Dieu a créé la terre et le ciel, aucune plante des champs ne poussait encore. Il n'avait pas fait pleuvoir, et aucun homme n'était là pour cultiver la terre. Une brume montait du sol et le mouillait partout.

English translation

When the LORD God created the earth and the sky, no plants of the field were growing yet. He had not made it rain, and there was no man there to cultivate the ground. A mist rose from the ground and watered it all over.

French

L'Éternel Dieu a formé un homme, Adam, avec de la poussière. Il a soufflé la vie dans son nez. Adam est alors devenu un être vivant.

English translation

The LORD God formed a man, Adam, from dust. He breathed life into his nose. Adam then became a living being.
