Genesis 1

The History of Existence (history)

1 Your ancestors identified the heavens and the earth.

2 They saw the earth unmade, and void; and as far as it would reach, beyond their view. But the mind of the ancestors already hovered over the face of the waters.(level of awareness: Curiousity)

3 Then your ancestors identified that light was important,  They found fire and said “Let there be light”; and there was light.

4 And they saw the light, that it was good; and the ancestors understood the difference between the light and the darkness and the importance of light.

5 Your ancestors called the light Day, and the darkness Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. (level of awareness: change).

6 Then the ancestors identified that the blue of the water wasn’t the blue of the sky, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters (rain and clouds) from the waters (seas and oceans).”

7 Thus the ancestors identified the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.

8 And the ancestors called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day (level of awareness: time).

9 Then the ancestors identified the horizon, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was known so for ever since.

10 And the ancestors called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters the ancestors called Seas. And the ancestors saw that it was correct.

11 Then your ancestors recognized the growth in nature, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so remembered from then forward that this was how it was.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And the ancestors saw that it was correct and consistent.

13 So the evening and the morning were the third day (level of awareness: cultivation).

14 Then the ancestors named the changing of day and night, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was known so from then on.

16 Then the ancestors named the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. the ancestors identified and recognized the stars also.

17 the ancestors explained them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,

18 and to (the) rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And your ancestors saw that it was correct and consistent and it was known from then on.

19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day. (new level of awareness: not only night and day, all of the world moves in circles)

20 Then your ancestors noticed that there were fish and animals in the water, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”

21 So the ancestors identified great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And your ancestors saw that it was correct and consistent and it was so it was known from then on.

22 And your ancestors recognized the need for food, hunt, fish and cultivated cattle, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day (new level of awareness: Generations, life evolves).

24 Then your ancestors identified that different animals lived in different places, but came from nature, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was known so from then on. (from nomad moving to farmers they became aware)

25 And the ancestors recognized the difference between prey and predator (domestication) of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And the ancestors saw that it was correct and consistent and so it was known from then on.

26 Then your ancestors identified that each generation looked like them, but needed to learn their ways, “Let Us teach man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[b] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (new level of awareness: Genetic inheritance)

27 So the ancestors thaught their children to their own image; in the image; as the ancestors thought them; male and female had their place. (the way society required the male and female to do their part in culture)

28 By that your ancestors improved everything for them, and they recognized it and adviced them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

29 And the ancestors identified their place in nature, “See, We have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, We have given every green herb for food”; and so it was known from then on.

31 Then your ancestors observed and kept an eye on everything that they had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.(new level of awareness: Historic records)
