4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
This verse introduces a shift from the universal creation narrative (Genesis 1) to a focused account of humanity’s origin. It shifts from a big-picture view of creation to a closer look at what happened in the Garden of Eden
God’s creation is not random or mythological—it is intentional and personal. This verse reminds us that our story begins with God’s deliberate design and sovereignty. We are part of a bigger narrative He authored.
