28Modimo a ba hlohonolofatsa, a re ho bona: “Atang, le ngatafale, le tlale lefatshe, le rene hodima lona; le laole ditlhapi tsa lewatle, le dinonyana tse fofang, le tsohle tse tsamayang hodima lefatshe.”

29Modimo a nto re: “Bonang, ke le file meroho yohle e nang le peo, e teng lefatsheng lohle; le difate tsohle tse behang ditholwana tse nang le peo, hore e be dijo tsa lona. 30Le diphoofolo tsohle tse hlaha, le dinonyana tsohle tse fofang, le tsohle tse hahabang hodima lefatshe, le tsohle tse phelang, ke di file ditlama tsohle tse tala, hore e be dijo tsa tsona.” Ha fela ha eba jwalo.

TSHIMOLOHO 1:27-31SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

In the book of Genesis, we find a portrayal of God’s act of creation. The two creation narratives of Genesis 1 and 2 depict the goodness in creation and the harmonious existence between human beings and the rest of creation. The Spirit of God that hovered over the waters (1:2) breathed life into all that God created.

God made light and darkness and separated water from the sky and land from water. God then created vegetation, the sun and moon to govern day and night, living creatures on the land and in the sea and humans. God summed up each phase of creation as ‘good’.
