What is happening here?
Genesis 1 introduces the Bible with God creating the heaven and the earth by his word. The chapter moves from an earth without form and void to an ordered world of light, sky, seas, dry land, vegetation, heavenly lights, creatures, and mankind. Human beings are uniquely made in God’s image, blessed, given dominion, and provided food. The chapter closes with God seeing everything that he had made and declaring it very good.
