Day by day, God created the universe and everything in it (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30). Nachmanides on Gen. 1:1 states emphatically that this is a fundamental Jewish tradition.Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.


On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun.

On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.

On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.

On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.

On day 5: God created birds and fish.

On day 6: God created animals and people.

On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

Note that according to tradition, there is only one Genesis creation-narrative, with ch.2 serving as an expansion of the brevity of ch.1, not a separate set of events (Rashi commentary, Gen. 2:8).

What is the summary of Genesis chapter 1-2?

Genesis 1 contains the history of all creation. God spoke all things into being over a six day period, and rested on the seventh day. The creation of man ion the sixth day was the pinnacle of the creation. Man enjoyed a special relationship with God. Genesis 2 deals specifically with the creation of humans in more detail than the overview given in Genesis 1.


Genesis 1 is the broad outline and Genesis 2 fills in details where would Genesis 2 best fit into Genesis 1?

More correctly, Genesis 1 through to 2:4a is a general outline of the whole creation and the rest deals with the creation of man and his position over creation and the relationship between man and woman. Thus the detail which is in the second section deals with and enlarges upon the creation of man mentioned in a general sense in Genesis 1. This is in line with known ancient practice from other ancient writings. So, if one is trying to fit Genesis 2 into Genesis 1 it belongs in the part dealing with the creation of man.

How can you compare the creation in Genesis to John 1?

AnswerThe two creation stories in Genesis chapters 1 and two have God alone creating the world. The only exception is in the first creation story, where God said, "Let us make man in our image" (Genesis 1:26), implying that someone else was already present.John 1:1-2 harmonises well with Genesis 1:26, as it says that in the beginning, the Word (Jesus) was with God.
