And God saw everything that He had made, and found it very good.
And God said, “This is a beautiful world that I have given you.
Take good care of it, do not ruin it.
It is said: that before the world was created, the Holy One kept creating worlds and destroying them. Finally He created this one and was satisfied. The Holy One said to Adam and Eve: “This is the last world I shall make. I place it in your hands: hold it in trust. And once something happens to it there will be no one to set it right again. It is in your hands…”
From God to Adam & Eve, a midrash
