God created the heavens and the earth (Gen. i. 1.) (Hebrew, carah; Greek,      .) |
God made the firmament (Gen. i. 7.) (Greek,  oε). |
| God made the sun and moon (Gen. i. 16.) |
| God created the great fishes (Gen. i. 21.) |
| God made the terrestrial animals (Gen. i. 25.) |
| God created man and made him “God-like” (Gen. i. 27.) |
| God said “Let us make man in our own image” (verse 26), and so God created man in His image (verse 27). |
| Chap. ii. 3. He rested from all the works which He had created and made. |
| Chap. ii. 4. He made the earth and the heavens; He also created them. |
| Chap. ii. 22. He made woman, but created man. |
| Most certainly create does not of necessity mean to make out of nothing, as fishes were “created” from water, and man was created from “earth.” | |
