Illustration for the scene “God forms Adam from dust”

Scene 1 · Intermediate

Dieu façonne Adam avec la poussière

God forms Adam from dust

French

Voici comment ont commencé le ciel et la terre lorsque l'Éternel Dieu les a créés. Aucune plante des champs n'était encore apparue : Dieu n'avait pas fait tomber la pluie, et aucun être humain ne cultivait le sol. Toutefois, une brume montait de la terre et en arrosait toute la surface.

English translation

This is how the heavens and the earth began when the LORD God created them. No plant of the field had yet appeared: God had not made it rain, and no human being was cultivating the soil. However, a mist rose from the earth and watered its entire surface.

French

Avec la poussière du sol, l'Éternel Dieu a façonné un homme, Adam. Puis il lui a insufflé la vie par les narines, et l'homme est devenu un être vivant.

English translation

With dust from the ground, the LORD God formed a man, Adam. Then he breathed life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
