Genesis 1:26–31; 2:7–25

On the sixth day God formed Adam from the dust, made Eve from his side, and placed them in the garden of Eden.

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.

Genesis 2:7 (World English Bible)

People are the high point of the creation account. God made them in his own image, gave them rule over the earth, and walked with them in a garden he had planted in Eden.

Genesis 2 zooms in on Day 6: God formed Adam from the ground and breathed life into him, gave him work to do and one command to keep, and then made Eve from his side as a partner suited to him. Jesus pointed back to this day when he taught about marriage (Matthew 19:4–6).
