One the second day God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning. On the third day God created the dry ground and the seas. Then God created the plants bearing seeds and the trees- the fourth day. God created the light to separate the day and the night on the fifth day. On the sixth day all the animals were created by God. On the last seventh day, God created the first man in his own image called Adam. After creating Adam he created Eve to be his partner. It is said that Eve was made from the rib of Adam. Adam replied to god´s gift and told him "She is now bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh and shall be called "wo-man".
