Genesis Chapter 1 - The Holy Bible

The first chapter of the Book of Genesis, part of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament, presents the Creation narrative, recounting the origins of the universe. This passage describes God’s sequential acts of creation over six days, including the formation of light, sky, land, seas, plants, animals, and humankind. Central themes include the power of divine command, the establishment of order, and sanctifying the seventh day as a day of rest. Often beginning with the iconic phrase "In the beginning," this text has been foundational in theological, literary, and cultural contexts, symbolizing the origins of life and the cosmos.
