εἶτ’ ἐπιλέγει· „αὕτη ἡ βίβλος γενέσεως οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, ὅτε ἐγένετο, ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν“ (Gen. 2, 4). τῇ δὲ πρώτῃ ταῦτα γέγονεν, ὥστε τὴν ἑβδόμην εἰς μονάδα τὴν πρώτην καὶ ἀρχὴν τῶν ὅλων ἀναφέρεσθαι. ταῦτ’ ἐμηκύναμεν ὑπὲρ τοῦ δεῖξαι τηλαυγέστερον τὴν δόξαν, ἣν ὁ Κάιν ὥσπερ τινὰ πόλιν οἴεται δεῖν κατασκευάζειν.
