In the hush of first breath,
the world opened-
light divided from dark,
order summoned from void.
Names were given:
man,woman,garden,day.

But beginnings do not hold forever.
Even paradise can be outgrown.
The story shifted.
From stillness to motion,
from dwelling to wandering.
A people,once cradled,
now carried the weight of covenant
across dry wilderness.

What was spoken in Eden
was tested in Egypt.
The holy does not only bless-
it calls.
And calling means leaving.

Creation gave them life.
Exodus taught them how to live it.
