2. By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested.
3. God blessed the seventh day and made it special because on that day he rested from his work.
4. That's how God created the heavens and the earth.When the Lord God made the heavens and the earth,
5. no grass or plants were growing anywhere. God had not yet sent any rain, and there was no one to work the land.
6. But streams came up from the ground and watered the earth.
