Gn 1,1 - Úvodom Pentateuchu, a tak i celého Písma, je nádherná rozprava o tom, ako Boh svojím všemohúcim slovom stvoril svet a ako ho za šesť dní (hexaemeron = héx ,šesť' a heméra ,deň') usporiadal a upravil. Svätopisec krátko, ale výstižne pripisuje vznik celého sveta jedinej príčine, Bohu, pôvodcovi všetkých jestvujúcich vecí. Pri čítaní biblického textu je potrebné si uvedomiť, že nie je vedeckou správou, že je plný symbolickej reči, ktorú je potrebné exegeticky správne vyložiť, a že jeho rozprávanie nie je "lineárne", ale sa v ňom prekrývajú rozličné vrstvy, literárne druhy, historické epochy a rôzne druhy reality. Preto treba pamätať na "literárny zmysel" jeho textu, na zmysel, aký mu dal cez výrazové prostriedky ľudského autora jeho pôvodný autor – Boh: "Keďže však vo Svätom písme Boh prehovoril prostredníctvom ľudí a ľudským spôsobom, aby vysvetľovateľ Svätého písma dobre pochopil, čo nám chcel Boh povedať, musí pozorne skúmať, čo vlastne mali svätopisci v úmysle vyjadriť a čo Boh uznal za dobré prejaviť ich slovami. Aby sme zistili úmysel svätopisca, treba si okrem iného všímať aj literárne druhy" (DV, čl. 12)."Na počiatku" rozumej na počiatku času, na začiatku Božej činnosti navonok. Predtým nejestvovalo nič, okrem Boha. "Stvoril", hebr. ,bárá', t. j. urobil z ničoho. Sloveso v tejto forme vyjadruje výhradne činnosť Božiu, a to nezávislú od hmoty. "Boh", ktorého nik nestvoril, lebo on má príčinu svojho bytia v sebe samom, je večný. – "Nebo a zem" – tieto slová tu značia svet, vesmír. Slovo "svet" sa totiž v hebrejčine nevyskytuje.
Gn 1,2 - "Zem" tu znamená zemskú prahmotu. O Bohu hovorí Božie zjavenie väčšinou obrazným spôsobom, vlastným človeku tých čias, a potom ľudská reč nemá vyjadrovacie prostriedky, primerané Božej skutočnosti. To platí aj o zvrate "Duch Boží sa vznášal nad vodami", ako prameň poriadku, svetla a krásy.Stvorenie všetkých vecí je dejinnou skutočnosťou; spôsob, ako sa nám podáva, je literárno-umelecký. Ale aj tu badať akúsi prirodzenú následnosť: zachováva sa vzostupný ráz, ako ho vyžaduje prírodná veda. Vrcholom Božieho stvoriteľského činu je človek. Svätopisec nám však nepodáva vedecké vysvetľovanie o vývine sveta, ale vychádza z predstáv, ktoré boli bežné v čase, v ktorom žil, keď sa zem pokladala za stred vesmíru. Zem si predstavovali ako plávajúci ostrov na hlbočinách, ktorý prikrývala ako pologuľa pevná obloha. Na vnútornej časti oblohy boli svetelné zdroje, slnko, mesiac a hviezdy, a na vonkajšej vrchnej časti boli uskladnené vo veľkých struhách vrchné vody, ktoré v čase dažďov prichádzali na zem (Gn 7,11; Ž 148,4 atď.).
Gn 1,4-5 - Tma sa odstraňuje stvorením svetla. Svetlo bolo stvorené v prvý deň, hoci svetelné zdroje zaujmú svoj priestor len vo štvrtý deň. Svetlom sa začína nový poriadok na svete. Aké svetlo má na mysli svätopisec, nevedno. – Boh dáva stvoreným veciam mená. To značí, že všetko, čo stvoril, je v jeho moci a od neho závislé.
Gn 1,6-8 - Boh zapája nespútané vody do svojho diela stvorením "oblohy", ktorá má za úlohu oddeľovať vrchné vody od spodných.
Gn 1,9-10 - Božím zásahom dochádza k rozčleneniu na zemi a k vzniku vegetatívneho života. Pevná zem je oddelená od vôd.
Gn 1,20-24 - Boh je stvoriteľom všetkého tu na zemi. Vývin rodov, že by sa dokonalejšie druhy zvierat vyvíjali z predchádzajúcich jednoduchších, je prírodovedecká teória, o ktorej Biblia nehovorí.
Gn 1,26 - Pri stvorení predchádzajúcich tvorov Boh "povedal, a stalo sa" (3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24). Pred stvorením človeka predchádza akási úvaha, porada Boha so sebou. Už z toho možno tušiť, aká bude hodnota človeka. Lenže ju bude ešte väčšmi vidno z toho, že človek bude stvorený na obraz Boží. "Urobme človeka na náš obraz" – v množnom čísle môže znamenať slávnostný spôsob Božieho uvažovania, alebo že sa Boh rozhodoval pred celým nebom. – "Na náš obraz" by mohlo znamenať fyzickú podobnosť, aká bola medzi Adamom a jeho synom (5,3), preto sa dodáva "a podľa našej podoby", čo odlišuje človeka od všetkých ostatných živočíchov a predpokladá podobnosť s Bohom v inteligencii, vo vôli, v moci; človek je osoba.
Gn 1,28 - Ako vo v. 22. "požehnáva" Boh zvieratá, tak aj tu "požehnáva" prvých ľudí. Požehnanie sa vzťahuje na ich množenie. Človek a zvieratá dostávajú od Boha moc, aby sa obnovovali a rozmnožovali a takto zachovali natrvalo svoj rod. Boh prepožičiava tu tvorom svoju tvoriteľskú moc. Boh dáva človeku nadvládu nad všetkým tvorstvom a toto je dôsledkom skutočnosti, že človek je obrazom Boha.
