Genesis 2:7
“Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
This verse describes the creation of the first human, often called Adam, in the biblical account. It's part of the second creation narrative in Genesis, which focuses more closely on humanity's beginnings and relationship with God, following the broader creation story of chapter 1.
What does being formed from the dust and receiving the breath of life suggest about our fundamental nature?
