Because the man was made with the participation of man, his wife, and the Creator, it is written about it, \u201cLet us make man,\u201d in partnership with his father and mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creator has made three craftsmen from which to elicit the world: heaven, earth, and water. Each of them served one day, then returned to serving one day each, as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>122) In the first day, the heaven executed his craftsmanship, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be light,\u2019 and there was light.\u201d In the second day, the water executed their craftsmanship, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it divide between water and water.\u2019\u201d Half the water went up, and half the water remained below. Had the water not divided, the world would not exist. In the third day, the earth elicited as she was commanded, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let the earth put forth grass, herb.\u2019\u201d It is also written, \u201cAnd the earth brought forth grass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>123) Thus far each craftsman of those three craftsmen executed their crafts and did as they were commanded. Three others remained in the work of creation. On the fourth day, the first craftsman, heaven, was commanded to execute his craft, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.\u2019\u201d On the fifth day, the water executed, meaning the second craftsman, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let the water swarm with swarms of living creatures.\u2019\u201d On the sixth day, the earth did her craft, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said, \u2018Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>124) When these three craftsmen completed their work, the Creator said to them, \u201cI have one craft to do, and this is man. Join together and I am with you; we will make man. The body is yours, and I will partake with you in giving the soul, and we will make man.\u201d As there were three craftsmen who partook in the work of creation in the beginning, so was it later in the creation of man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The father is the one in whom he made the work of heaven, and the work of the water is where the whiteness in man is from. And the woman, who is the third craftsman, is like the earth, from which the redness in the newborn comes. The soul is from the Creator, who partook with them. It is written about it, \u201cin those who make him,\u201d the Creator, his father, and his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>125) Although his father and mother passed away from this world, man\u2019s joy is in all the participants, for when a man includes the Creator in his joy, the Creator comes to the Garden of Eden and takes his father and mother from there, His partners. He brings them with Him to that joy, and all are in there. People do not know, but in a man\u2019s plight, the Creator is with him alone; He does not let his father and mother know, as it is written, \u201cIn my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>121) \u201cLet Israel rejoice in those who make him.\u201d Those who make him are the Creator and his father and
