The purpose of this article is to correct the one-sided thought, that God' Creation has been accomplished only by his Words. But if one observes well the biblical text, he finds, that it is not so. The Creation has been made not only by God' Words, but also by his real action. Therefore the linguistic analysis to the text is to be so used that one may observe it in the sight of the movement of God. At first the concern is to be concentrated especially on the hebrew verbs, which describe well the creative action of God. They appear successively for six days. According to the seven-day-creation process this work is so divided into seven sections. The interpretation of the first sentence is concerned with one hebrew verb 'ar'B''. The verb plays an important role in the Genesis 1. It is very extraordinary, that it takes only God as its subject and needs no material for the creation. It also has the active meaning and appears again with relation to the living creatures in v. 21 and 27. The Word plays an important role in the first creation of Light. From the second creation the transitive verbs appear in Text. Above all 'ldB(badal/divide)'verb plays an important role in God's work. At third day the earth participates also in a creation according to the order of God. In comparison with other days the process of the fourth day is relative long. First of all lights are made here not by God's word but by his direct action(!t;n' natan/put). From the fifth day living creatures are created by God's work. At sixth day the creation is culminated in the creation of man and woman. Finally God stops his work and takes a rest at seventh day. All of this makes proof, that the creation is made not only by God' Words but also by his aimed work. Therefore this article offers the opportunity to people, the one-sided thought for the Creation to re-think.
