The Jewish Scripture starts right at the beginning of time itself, where God created the universe, and only then did he create the earth (Genesis 1). Right from the beginning God has had an intimate connection between God and the world, and this connection is believed to continue throughout time.
From the moment god created humanity (Gen. 1:26), we were created for the one purpose to protect the earth. But it is in the story of Noah that we perhaps truly learn about the role that God had created us for, to protect nature. As soon as humanity becomes aware of the natural destruction, like in the Noah’s Ark story, only then can we fulfill our divine duty to protect all living things.
