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 is part of the second creation account in Genesis, which focuses on the creation of humanity and its relationship with God and the garden. It describes God's direct, personal involvement in forming the first human, named Adam, from earth and animating him with divine breath.
What does it mean to you that life's origin, in this telling, involves both tangible earth and intangible breath?
