Oh? Did you know? There are two distinct creation narratives in Genesis:
-
Genesis 1:1 - 2:3: This is where God creates the world in six days and rests on the seventh. It's more structured, presenting a kind of "cosmic order" to the process.
-
Genesis 2:4 onwards: This story focuses on the creation of Adam, then the Garden of Eden, and eventually Eve. It has a more "personal" and detailed approach, especially concerning human beings.
Scholars believe these two narratives originate from different traditions or sources, which were later compiled into the book we have now. It's a testament to the rich and layered history of biblical texts.
