   The Rainbow Torah   
      
   I   
      
   Creation   
      
      
   In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. But the earth was empty and   
   unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit   
   of God was brought over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light.”   
   And light became. And    
   God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the   
   darknesses. And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses,   
   ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.   
      
   God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let   
   it divide waters from waters.” And God made a firmament, and he divided the   
   waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the   
   firmament. And so it became.    
   And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning,   
   the second day.   
      
   Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together   
   into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became. And God   
   called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters,   
   ‘Seas.’ And God saw    
   that it was good. And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both   
   those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to   
   their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it   
   became. And the land    
   brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their   
   kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing,   
   according to its species. And God saw that it was good. And it became evening   
   and the morning, the third    
   day.   
      
   Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them   
   divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of   
   the days and years. Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate   
   the earth.” And so    
   it became. And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the   
   day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars. And he   
   set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth, and to   
   rule over the day as    
   well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was   
   good. And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.   
      
   And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and   
   flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.” And God   
   created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the   
   ability to move that the    
   waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures,   
   according to their kind. And God saw that it was good. And he blessed them,   
   saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the   
   birds be multiplied above    
   the land.” And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.   
      
   God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and   
   animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so   
   it became. And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their   
   species, and the cattle,    
   and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was   
   good. And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him   
   rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the   
   wild beasts, and the    
   entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.” And God created man   
   to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he   
   created them. And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and   
   fill the earth, and    
   subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying   
   creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the   
   earth.” And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant   
   upon the earth, and all the trees    
   that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,   
   and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air,   
   and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living   
   soul, so that they    
   may have these on which to feed.” And so it became. And God saw everything   
   that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning,   
   the sixth day.   
      
   And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment. And   
   on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the   
   seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished. And he   
   blessed the seventh day    
   and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work   
   whereby God created whatever he should make.   
      
   II   
      
   Adam and Eve   
      
      
   These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the   
   day when the Lord God made heaven and earth, and every sapling of the field,   
   before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would   
   germinate. For the Lord    
   God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the   
   land. But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of   
   the land.   
      
   And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed   
   into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Now the Lord   
   God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed   
   the man whom he had    
   formed. And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful   
   to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of   
   Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.   
      
   And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise,   
   which is divided from there into four heads. The name of one is the Phison; it   
   is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born; and   
   the gold of that    
   land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone. And   
   the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all   
   the land of Kush. Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it   
   advances opposite the    
   Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
