What did God make first?

Answer 1

The first things God created were the angels:-

Job 38:4,7 MKJV Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? ... [v. 7] [W]hen the morning stars [ie angels] sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

[Note that this included every angel - none had sinned yet. It includes those who later sinned ie Satan and all fallen angels.]

Speaking of Satan, God says he was a created being:-

Eze 28:12-15 WEB ... You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.[v. 13] You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared. [v. 14] You were theanointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. [v. 15] You wereperfect in your ways from the day thatyou were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.

Answer 2

God created man (Adam) first then took a rib from Adam because God said man shouldn't be alone and then created Eve.

See he made Eve after because second time round he made some improvements and made women even better ;)

Answer 3

Since the early centuries of the Common Era, tradition has held that Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created heaven and earth" - in other words God created everything out of nothing. But as long ago as the eleventh century CE, the influential Jewish scholar, Rashi, said that Genesis 1:1 should be read, "When God began to create" or "In the beginning of God's creation". E.A. Speiser, in the Anchor Bible series, goes further and translates the sentence as: "When God set about to create heaven and earth - the world being a formless waste, with darkness over the seas... God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light." The import of this is that Genesis goes on to say that there was a pre-existing watery chaos. The ocean was already present and a wind moved across the surface. The seas rested on the dry land, which appeared on day 3 when God gathered the waters together. What God made first was light - day and night. He then made a firmament to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of heaven.

However, this creation account ends at Genesis 2:4a (the first sentence of verse 4). A second, somewhat different creation account begins at Genesis 2:4b.

In the second creation account, which is actually the older account in the Judaic religion, there was pre-existing dry land but Yahweh had yet to make it rain for plants to grow. A spring arose and God took some moist clay and made Adam. So, in this account, God made Adam first in his creation.
