天地創造と原初史

God creates the heavens and the earth in six days and rests on the seventh. Humanity is created in God's image — male and female — and given dominion over creation.

Adam and Eve disobey God by eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Sin enters the world, bringing death, shame, and exile from Eden — but God promises a deliverer (Genesis 3:15).

God judges the wickedness of humanity with a worldwide flood, saving righteous Noah and his family in the ark along with pairs of every living creature. God establishes a covenant with Noah, symbolized by the rainbow.

Humanity attempts to build a tower reaching to heaven in defiance of God. God confuses their language and scatters the people across the earth, explaining the origin of the world's diverse nations and languages.
