Genesis and beyond

Animals of the Bible

God made the animals before he made people, and they walk through the whole Bible: Abel’s flock, Abraham’s donkey, Rebekah’s camel, the dove of Noah. Here is each one, with the verses, how families lived with it and what it meant, and where you will find it in Age of the Bible.

“Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened.”Genesis 1:24 NLT

“So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.”Genesis 2:19 NLT
