The Origin Of Man
Genesis 2:4-7
[4] These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
[5] When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— [7] then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
