At the beginning of the first chapter of the Torah describes the creation Gd of the universe in six days. On the first day He created light and darkness. On the second day he he creates the firmament that separates the "upper waters" from the "lower waters." On the third day, the land rises above the waters and the land at the behest Over produces green grass and trees. On the fourth day the Creator establishes the location of the sun, moon and stars, and gives them the function serve as benchmarks for the countdown and luminaries. On the fifth day He created birds and fish. On the sixth day - land animals and man. On the seventh day Gd ceases work of creation, and sanctifies it as a day of rest.

Adam and Eve are placed in Gan Eden (Garden of Eden), to give the commandment not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
