The mythological background of the creation story in the Bible primarily involves the narrative in the Book of Genesis. It describes the creation of the world by God, who creates everything in six days and rests on the seventh. Key components include the formation of light, the sky, land, and living creatures, culminating in the creation of humanity. This narrative establishes foundational themes of divine order, humanity’s purpose, and the relationship between God and creation. Unlike myths from other cultures, the Biblical creation story emphasizes monotheism and sets a timeline for cosmic history.
