What did god created during the 7 days of creation?

Answer 1

The universe in general (Genesis 1:1)light; day and night

the firmament (expanse; atmosphere; vault of the heavens)

the continents (by separating dry land and the seas)

plants

the sun, moon and stars

birds and fish

land animals

mankind.

The light of the first three days was not the sun; it was light that had no physical source, and it was later concealed from us.

Genesis ch.2 is not taken into account here because according to tradition, there is only one Genesis creation-narrative, with ch.2 serving as an expansion of the brevity of ch.1, not a separate set of events (Rashi commentary, Gen.2:8). In ch.1, God created the universe from nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30; Targum and Nachmanides on Gen. 1:1; Rashi commentary, Gen.1:14), and in ch.2, God performed specific acts within the broader picture.

Answer 2

The great majority of Christians believe that the first creation story in Genesis says that God created the world in six days, along with everything on it. Since the early centuries of the Common Era, tradition has held that Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created heaven and earth.” However, it appears that a correct translation of the Hebrew text says otherwise. 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 (Genesis 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."

Although Rashi and Speiser may have believed that God created the earth itself, neither could find anything in the text that says so. 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. The order of creation differs somewhat from what scientists agree really happened, as follows:(Day 1) light (day);

(2) the firmament, which was believed to separate the waters of the heavens from the lower waters;

(3) By gathering the lower waters in one place the land appeared. Grasses and trees;

(4) sun; moon and stars - the lights in the firmament;

(5) fish and fowl;

(6) land creatures, then man, both male and female;

(day 7) God rested.

Notice that the light of day was not yet understood to have originated from the sun, although the sun was universally understood to rule the day. That is why it was possible to have grass and trees before the sun was created.
