Biblical Histories of the Old Testament

God formed man from the dust of the earth, and man became a living soul. Genesis 2. original Latin: "Formauit Deus hominem de limo terræ, & factus est homo in animam uiuentem."

A woodcut illustration depicting the creation of man. God the Father is shown as an elderly bearded man wearing a papal tiara and robes, with a radiant halo. He stands on the right, gesturing toward Adam, who is kneeling with hands clasped in prayer. The scene is set in a landscape with trees, a bird (possibly a crane or ostrich), and foliage.

The Lord made man from a clod of earth and breathed into him a living breath; thus man became a living soul. Genesis 2. original German: "Der Herr macht den menschē auß dem erdenkloß/ bliese jm ein ein lebendigen athem/ also ward der mensch ein lebendige seel."
