Genesis 2:4-6

The Voice

⁴ This is the detailed story of the Eternal God’s singular work in creating all that exists. On the day the heavens and earth were created, ⁵ there were no plants or vegetation to cover the earth. The fields were barren and empty, because the Eternal God had not sent the rains to nourish the soil or anyone to tend it. ⁶ In those days, a mist rose up from the ground to blanket the earth, and its vapors irrigated the land.
