Adonai fills out the creation with humankind
and all the species of mammals, on the sixth day. Each
creature is born with it's distinctive skin color and pattern.
On the skin of man and woman is imprinted the Tohu v' Vohu,
the raw material of creation, symbolic of the primordial state
of the universe. This says to us that the God, who brings
forth humankind in his image, is a creative
God (Elohim) who peoples his universe with a creative
humanity, imbued with all the potential and chaos that creativity
demands.
