2 Esdras 3:5

Listen to 2 Esdras 3:5
5 and it gave you Adam, a lifeless body? Yet he was the creation of your hands, and you breathed into him the breath of life, and he was made alive in your presence.

2 Esdras 3:5 In-Context

3 My spirit was greatly agitated, and I began to speak anxious words to the Most High, and said,
4 "O sovereign Lord, did you not speak at the beginning when you planted the earth—and that without help—and commanded the dust
5 and it gave you Adam, a lifeless body? Yet he was the creation of your hands, and you breathed into him the breath of life, and he was made alive in your presence.
6 And you led him into the garden that your right hand had planted before the earth appeared.
7 And you laid upon him one commandment of yours; but he transgressed it, and immediately you appointed death for him and for his descendants. From him there sprang nations and tribes, peoples and clans without number.
