Genesis 2 · Grade 4

Made by God, Made for Each Other

Name Date

Read and Think

Genesis 2 begins with rest. God finished His work and rested on the seventh day. God was not tired. He rested to show that His work was complete, and He blessed the day and made it holy.

Then the chapter zooms in on the creation of people. God formed the man from the dust and breathed into him the breath of life. We are made from simple dust, but we are alive because God gives us life. God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. God also gave one clear command: do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. Adam named the animals, but none of them was like him. So God made the woman from Adam's side and brought her to him. Adam was overjoyed. God created marriage: a man and a woman joined together as one.
