View source for The Creation Week

The first distinct section of the Hebrew Bible, [[Genesis 1:1 to 2:3]], describes God's creation of [[Heaven and Earth]], following a two-verse introduction describing a mighty wind blowing in dark emptiness over formless and timeless water<sup>'''*'''</sup>.  Six days of creation are followed by a seventh day of rest corresponding to the Biblical "sabbath" (related, perhaps coincidentally<ref>See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Sabbath#Etymology</ref> to Hebrew שבע sheva' "seven").  Each of the six days of creation begins with God speaking.
