The Bible (CH 1-5)

I felt really familiar reading the first 5 chapter f the bible, considering it sounds just like a myth story. It starts talking about the creation of the earth and why we came to be here and why, which is much of what we have been studying in class. I liked it lot because we had all heard about the "myth" that God created the world in seven days, but we hadn't actually read it in detail and most importantly: directly from the bible! At the beginning they describe the very beginning of the earth, when it was all black and there wasn't even light. Slowly it tells us how God created one thing every day, one day he created day and night, other he creates light and dark, another he created animals etc. But on the sixth day he created a being who would rule upon the others and this would be man. he would have complete power over everything and would "rule". Then comes the story of how men reproduced and the story of Adam and Eve takes place. This is the story we all know that first came Adam but he needed company and out of his rib came Eve. Then comes the story of Abel and Cain, which were two brothers that have very different personalities and Cain ends up killing his brother and he is severely punished to death. Lastly which is a part I think they should omit is the descendants of Cain and his wife, but there are a lot of names so it confused me a little bit.

What i thought was very curious was that i also read this spanish bible called "Dios Habla Hoy" and it was very similar to that of King James version. But I noticed some clear differences. One of them is that in the Spanish bible there is much more quotes, and the characters talk more. And a very curious one was that on the spanish bible at the end of chapter 5 it says that Adam and Eve had another son which they called Enos and later he started to evoke the name of the lord.

So far I'm having a lot of fun reading the bible and I'm also liking this King James Version a lot, I also find it very interesting comparing it to the Spanish bible so Ill keep on doing this.
