Quick Chapter Sumary

Chapter 1 of Genesis is an overview of the first 7 days of creation. It lists the different things that were created on each of the days.

Day 1 - Light is created to separate day time and night time

Day 2 - The ‘firmament’ is created. Firmament is another word for sky or the heavens.

Day 3 - The waters are gathered together and land is formed. Plants, vegetation, and trees are created. Each one is designed to reproduce only seeds after it’s one ‘kind’ or type.

Day 4 - The sun, the moon, and the stars are created.

Day 5 - All animals that are sea dwelling and birds of the air are created. They are again, created to reproduce with and after their own ‘kind’.

Day 6 - All land dwelling animals are created. Lastly, God creates man in His own image from the dust of the ground. He commands man to multiple and to rule over the rest of the creation that he has made.

This is where Genesis Chapter 1 ends. The 7th day of rest is in the first 2 verses of Chapter 2.
