Document Summary
Genesis 1: the beginning: day one: day and night. Let the land produce vegetation: seed bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it: day four: sun, moon, stars and outer space. Let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years. Lights to separate the light from the dark: day five: creatures of water and sky. G-d blessed them and said, be fruitful and increase in number and ll the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth. : day six: wild animals, livestock, ground creatures, mankind. Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over [the creatures, animals]. : g-d created mankind in his own image, as male and female. This is why there is debate over the gender of g-d.
