Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Shilling Book of Old Testament History: For National and Elementary Schools, With a Map of the Holy Land I. The Creation. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. With these simple words begins the History contained in the Scriptures of the Old Testament, teaching us that the world did not exist from all eternity, or, as some have thought, owe its origin to Chance, but was called into existence by the will of an All-Mighty Creator. The Creation of the world took place in six days, or periods of time. On the first day light was created, and divided from the darkness; on the second the firmament, or atmosphere encircling the globe; on the third, the water and the land were separated, and the surface of the earth was covered with vegetation, with the herb yielding seed, and the tree yielding fruit after its kind. On the fourth, the sun, moon, and stars were bidden to give light upon the earth, and to be for signs and seasons, and for days and years. On the fifth, the waters brought forth the various tribes of fish after their kind, and the winged fowl flew in the air. On the sixth day land animals, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth appeared, and each and all were pronounced by God to be very good. 2. The Creation of Man. But the work of Creation was not yet complete. A being higher than any yet created was to appear. Accordingly, Odd said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over every living thing, and over all the earth; over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. So the Lord God formed Man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Man became a living soul. Then having seen that all things He had made were very good, God ended His work, and rested on the Seventh Day, hallowing it as a Day of Rest for man. 3. Adam and Eve. For the abode of the first man, Adam, the Almighty planted a garden in the region of the East, where now is the high table-land of the modern Armenia. It was watered by four streams, of which two were the Tigris and Euphrates. The situation of the others, Pison and Gihon, is not known. But here, in a spot supplied with everything that was pleasant to the eyes and good for food, the first mans work commenced, and he was charged to dress and keep the garden, which the Lord had made.
