animals, and over all the creatures that move along the

So God created mankind in his own image,! in the image of

God he created them;! male and female he created them.
27

God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and

increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over
the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every
living creature that moves on the ground.
28

Then God said, I give you every seed-bearing plant on

the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with
seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts
of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures
that move along the groundeverything that has the breath
of life in itI give every green plant for food. And it was so.

there was evening, and there was morningthe sixth day.

Read Genesis 2:18-23 below and answer the questions

that follow.
Genesis 2:18-23 (New International Version (NIV))
The Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him.
18

Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the
wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to
the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the
man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the
man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and
all the wild animals.
19

But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord

God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he
was sleeping, he took one of the mans ribs and then closed
up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman
from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought
her to the man.
23

The man said,

This is now bone of my bones! and flesh of my flesh;! she

shall be called woman,! for she was taken out of man.
Why did God create woman for man?
