      Long time ago, when the universe was just about to come, God lived alone in an empty space covering a dark water. God hoped to create a good and interesting universe.  

       Then, God commanded, "Let there be light". And light appeared. 

      God was pleasant what he saw. Then, he separated the light from the darkness, and he named the light "Day" and the darkness 'Night." Evening passed that was the first day, and morning came.  

      In the second day, God made a dome divide the water and keep it in two separate places. It separated the water under it from the water above it. He named the dome "Sky." 

      In the third day, God let water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear. Then, he named the land “Earth” and the water which had come together, he named 'Sea.'  He let the earth produce all kinds of plants and trees that would bear grains, seeds, flowers and fruits. Then, the forest was covered with beautiful and splendid flower and tree colors, filled with flower and fruit scents. 

      In the fourth day, God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night. Also, he let every season change, and made time pass orderly. He filled the universe with the larger lights and twinkling stars shining bright in the sky.

      In the fifth day, he let the water be filled with many kinds of living creatures, and let the air be filled with birds with wings. God made birds fly over the sky. Then, the universe was encircled with all kinds of sounds that swimming fish and whales made, jumping up from the sea, and that birds flying in flock made, dancing and chirping. The songs of birds, 'Tweet-tweet,' 'Cawing,' 'Cuckoo,' and more, became the first sacred song of praise for God. Then, God was pleased with what he saw, and blessed the universe.

      In the sixth day, God made many living animals, domestic and wild, large and small, on this earth. God made all of them and was very pleasant what he saw. Finally, God created human beings, and made them have power over the fish, birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large, and small. 

      Then, God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it, making him (Adam) be like God himself, and breathing life-giving breath into his nostrils. God told the man to have a happy life, making him rule over the universe and name all animals, which have been called giraffe, lions, rabbits, crocodiles, peacocks, shirks, cuttlefish, and more, up to now. 

      However, God thought that Adam might feel loneliness, because he was single. Not one of animals was a suitable companion to help him. So, God decided to make Adam have his companion. While he was sleeping, God took out one of the man's ribs. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him. Adam was delighted to have the beautiful woman that God had brought him. They lived, loving God and each other, over and over. For six days, God completed the whole universe. By the seventh day, God finished what he had been doing and stopped working. 

      He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as a special day. Thus, the seventh day called Lord's Day is a blessing and holy day that God bestowed.

      (Genesis 1:1-2:25)
