Genesis 1-2

Pastor Nathan Currey

Genesis 1:26-28
[26] Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
[27] So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
[28] And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Genesis 2:20-25
[20] The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the
heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not
found a helper fit for him. [21] So the Lord God caused a deep sleep
to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and
closed up its place with flesh. [22] And the rib that the Lord God had
taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the
man. [23] Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
[24] Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. [25] And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
