Gott formt Adam aus Staub
God forms Adam from dust

Dies ist die Geschichte davon, wie Himmel und Erde entstanden. Als Gott die Erde und den Himmel machte, wuchsen auf den Feldern noch keine Pflanzen oder Kräuter. Denn bisher hatte Gott es nicht regnen lassen, und es gab auch keinen Menschen, der den Boden bearbeiten konnte.
