📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

In Genesis chapter 2 the narrator describes God creating the heavens and the earth, then forming the earth and making it habitable, and then creating the sun, moon and stars to mark time. He then creates humanity, separating the male from the female, giving them to each other as partners, and establishing marriage as a covenant. The chapter emphasizes God’s sovereignty in creation and the purpose of humanity as stewards and partners.
