Genesis: 2:19

And out of the ground (matter) Jehovah Elohim formed every beast of the field (in Hod, Astral Body), and every fowl of the air (in Netzach, Mental Body); and brought them unto Adam (Yesod-Malkuth) to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Genesis 2: 7–9

And Jehovah Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground (this physical human being that appears; in himself this human being is called the Garden of Eden), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a נפש חיה living soul. (God blew into his nose and the man became a Living Soul. Physically speaking, this creation occurs in the Sephirah Yesod).
