Are There Two Creation Accounts In Genesis?

- Skeptics have claimed Genesis 1 and 2 contradict and give us different creation accounts. But does the evidence support this hypothesis? Thanks to the scholar Benjamin Kilchör for helping to make the script for this video.

I've always assumed that the creation account in Genesis 2 was just a more detailed explanation of the creation of man and thus didn't conflict with Genesis 1.
That was my old view, but it doesn't make any sense given the genre and events described.
Yep that’s exactly how it is written.
We don't even have to assume it. That's exactly how it is written.
@@KevC1111 do you think you could elaborate please? God bless.
@@Noir_Nouveau what do you mean? And the perfect an all powerful God not write a perfect book using imperfect people?
One of my favorite things about studying the Bible is the constant mirroring effect throughout all of scripture. Amen! So well done.
and isn't it great when it keeps contradicting itself kinda gives you that feeling that they did not know what they were doing.
My favorite thing about the Bible is how absolutely rediculous it is yet billions take it seriously.
Theres talking snakes and cursed fruit in magical gardens, the earth is flat (because Satan and Jesus were in the mountain and the devil "showed him the entire world" lol?)
Jesus also didn't know how seasons worked and thought it was winter worldwide at once lol wow some son of god he is.
It's so fake i find it sad people latch to ancient fables just because they are desperate for answers even if those answers make no logical sense. Religious people can't accept "we don't know" as an answer so they make things up and call it "truth".
Faith is no better than delusion.
@@truthgiver8286 There is no contradictions in the bible but just a misunderstanding on our part. God loves to repeat and expand on a subject. He also wants us to here a little and there a little.
@@ChristSeed777 an easy one that everyone has heard of in Exodus it says an eye for an eye but in Matthew it says turn the other cheek
and a big one that not a lot of people know Matthew says Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod but Luke says it was when Quirinius was governor of Syria The problem being that Quirinius was not governor of Syria until ten years after Herod's death.
@@truthgiver8286 The eye for an eye is similar to these verses:
Romans 13:3-4 NKJV - For RULERS are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s MINISTER to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not BEAR THE SWORD in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to EXECUTE WRATH on him who practices evil.
This is how they were supposed to be back then but they perverted judgment. This does not mean they were not to turn the other cheek as well. Think of Lot turning the other cheek (Genesis 26:19-22). David and Saul, when Saul was trying to kill him and David had two opportunities to kill him.
As far as that second one i have not had time to view that but i am pretty sure God does not contradict on that as well.
A quick way to answer this question is to see that Jesus Himself conflated both chapters into one unified story in Matthew 19:4-5:
"And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ (quoted from Genesis 1:27) and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? (quoted from Genesis 2:24).
Funny thing though, Jesus is mentioned anywhere in the entire story and the humans created in Genesis 1 were created in the image of the Elohim while the humans created in Genesis 2, were not.
He didn’t conflate those stories at all. All he did was mention the creation of mankind. Presuppositions lead to horrible argument takes like the one you just made.
Jesus seeing them as the same story is evidence that it's the traditional explanation, even 2,000 years ago.
I stumbled upon this issue after reading Genesis for the second time. It was like someone dropped a boulder on my head. I appreciate this video and in depth explanation.
Same here! i realised that it is all explanations of the world being made, people developing civilisation etc. it explains the history of the world up to the time it was written
Hey IP, these videos keep getting better and better with more knowledge and strengthening our faith and reliability in the Bible! God bless you and keep doing what you're doing! Do you plan on doing an in-depth analysis of the Book of Revelation? It's my favorite book in the Bible, there are many views about the content of Revelation; no Christian has the same view as another Christian, whether its about the 1,000-year Millenium Kingdom, various symbols throughout the book, and how and when the Rapture will occur. Such a video would be eye-opening!
I always thought it was so obvious that genesis 2 was an elaboration on day 6 that it seemed ridiculous to even consider the notion they're different, contradictory accounts
well yes it was intended as that by said compiler etc.
the argument is that a compiler put them together such that they would look that way i guess
@@azophi but at that point how can we even tell it's multiple sources if it's so well redacted?
@@thatwolfensteinguy8954 great question!
Though the priestly source did masterfully weave a lot of texts together , they … aren’t perfect 😅. It’s the most identifiable source, even beyond the J (yahwist) source . Very easy to tell because they really talk about the character of God as a God. Unlike genesis 2/3 where he walks around, the P source talks about God like speaking stuff into existence. He also really like genealogies and stuff
There are definitely times they do a better time at merging the stories, like with Isaac and Jacob.
Plus the priestly source has a lot of styles only they use and this fits it better.
For a good intro and response to IP, I would HIGHLY recommend dr Kipp Davis’ response to this video . He has like a whole 5 part series breaking down IPs arguments and looking at what scholars in the field think about these arguments .
I have never understood why people think they contradict. However, I don't think Gen 2 literally happened on day 6 of Gen 1 either. (I mean, if you take the old earth creation theory, we may still be in day 6 or early in day 7, since God hasn't seemed to be making any serious moves since Jesus ... maybe he's resting.)
I've understood it this way for many years. Gen 1 is a grand narrative of the creation of the cosmos, remarkably accurate in terms of evolutionary development given its age. Gen 2 shifts to the origin story, not of the whole world, but of one race of people. Every group of people have some story about how they came to be. The Chinese believe that their ancestors sprang from the mud along the banks of the Yellow River. For the Hebrews it was Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
There are other hints that Adam and Eve aren't the Man and Woman from Gen 1. When Cain is marked and cast out for killing Abel he goes to another part of the world, takes a wife, and founds a city. If Adam, Eve, and their children were truly the first family of humans ... where did those people come from? Perhaps from the Man and Woman in Gen 1 who were commanded to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" and not the two specific individuals placed in the Garden in Gen 2.
In my estimation, Gen 1/2 don't have to contradict, but they only do if you insist that Adam and Eve MUST be the Man and Woman from Gen 1. However, you might be surprised by how much resistance, and sometimes outright anger, I have received to that seemingly logical conclusion.
I think, perhaps, that because the doctrine of original sin (and thus the need for salvation) is limited only to the descendants of Adam and Eve, people who aren't their descendants might not need Christ. (If there's one thing Christians can't abide, it is the idea that there is anyone in the history of the world that doesn't need Jesus in their life.) But that doesn't make sense either. If the story of Noah's flood is true, then we are all descendants of Noah, and thus Adam, and original sin applies. So who cares if Adam and Eve were the first humans? But they still fight about it.
@@drumguy1384 I agree with a lot of what you say. When I read the bible it sounds as you are saying. Gen 1 God created Man and said be fruitful and multiply and to have dominion of the earth. Gen 2 The Lord God created Adam of the dust and placed him in the garden to till the ground and raise cattle. And in my opinion Eve had a child from the serpent (Cain) and from Adam (Abel) and when Cain was born he was called a child of the Lord. When Cain killed Abel he was banished and cursed so that the earth would never spring forth it’s fruit. So he found a wife and founded the cities. So you have humans that wander the earth freely, you have humans that tend to land and farm and you have a group of humans that build cities and enslave people.
The hymnic poetry you referenced is the cause of most of the confusion. Great all around video.
Great work, brother. Keep up the good work. I'll be using this video for my specific video on this topic.
¡Gracias! I was taught about the two traditions unified, that created two different account of Creation. This is really interesting, and I feel the text turns even more scientifically fit interpreting it that way
Thank you for the donation.
Having seen the video, unsurprisingly, I'm impressed at the level of research.
I like the focus on Priesthood, it is complementary of John Bergsma's description of Gen 1 as being the creation of the Temple.
It is also complementary of Scott Hahn's the Lamb's Supper which presents the Apocalypse of John in addition to being prophetic and a wedding feast as the engagement of the liturgical service though of the Christian tradition.
This is an excellent confirmation of a bookend typical of the chiastic structure.
Haven't yet seen the video so I am super curious how you put it. The way I read Gen 1 is that it's the Acts of Creation framed in the literary construction of the seven-day week. And then Gen 2 continues not as a second creation account, but as a family history of the earth and human society (in hebrew, a "toledot", not strictly a genealogy). So it seems they are two different literary genres and not attempting to even tell the same thing! Looking forward to your video, love you brother!

@@paradisecityX0 I never thought of that
There are 2 accounts of creation in genesis.Gensis 1 of the Creation accounts has both male and female being made and told to subdue the earth.
Genesis 2 of the creations accounts has Adam by himself to tend the garden.
We know for a fact that they are 2 different accounts because we have the genealogies from Immanuel they call Jesus to Adam it was said to be the son of god.
Immanuel only begotten and Adam the created son.
No other families genealogies are present in them. Only the bloodline.
@@T.D.H.Miller-pp6sf I think youre simply wrong. First it talked about creation as a whole in 7 days. Then it went into further detail about the creation of man.

Great video, brother! Although I don't always agree with your conclusions, I sure am glad you're on our (Christian) side. I know your schedule is full, so these videos mean a lot to those of us who don't do it for a living. Well done!
Also, at 16:23, you say Lev 12:16, when it's supposed to be 26:12.
Would love to see your analysis on the two trees. Really liked this video.
Two trees.parablic. nervous system tree of knowledge. Tree of life Jesus is often depicted with a sacred Heart. The Tree of life.Both in the center of our being. Both representative of being like trees. The two become one.
The Angel with the flaming sword to gaurd against entering into the garden of Eden.4 rivers came from the garden of Eden. 4 chambers of the heart. What electrical point center both the nervous system and the heart beat controls the pumping of the blood system of life. That within the blood also has the ability to heal itself. ??? Interpretation of scriptures can be a bit painstaking at times yet. Knowledge of ones self can help to reveal the hidden veribles of similarities in it. Know/Noah. Three sons one saw the nakedness of it's father the other two sons walked backwards to cover Thier father's nakedness. Eyes see in reverse third eye flips as a servant to his brothers. Another example of.

Great video as always. Also, can you make a video on preterism, unless you made one already. I'm quite confused about it and would like your opinions if you have any.
Thank you for the hard to find chapter mirroring and the hidden temple parallels. The Priestly connections. At the end of the day it is a unity.
Except Jesus taught in Matthew 19 that in *the beginning* Adam and Eve were created on day 6.
Excellent video, brother.
I have been telling people for over twenty years now,Go back and read Genesis, there are two different creations. Thanks for updating this point.
What's the evidence from the two different creation stories that they were done by the same entity?
You've been wrong for over 20 years.
No. Chapter 2 never mentions God creating anything. It only mentions Him forming things. Creation is different from formation. He created all mankind in chapter one. But he forms man into a body in chapter 2. Same with the animals and other things. Jeremiah 1 says that God formed us in our mother's womb. Not create us. And that he knew Jeremiah before he was formed. How? Bc he was created already. His soul. Adam was formed by God. Eve was formed from Adam by God. The rest of the man is formed in the womb of the mother.
@@danielvrodriguez81chapter 1 never mentions the name of God himself creating anything so chapter 2 is different bc it gives a personal account of the creator himself only!
@@nagameel7324 it says God ever where. Elohim

I remember last year I looked at an atheistic website that laid out a bunch of Bible "contradictions" Genesis 1 & 2 pretty much being the main point. The understanding came pretty quickly if you simply take a moment to look closely at the words being stated. As already said in the video, the Bible said Eden was a garden, not the whole world. This misunderstanding also ties into people believing in Lilith, which I think is in Wicca. She was thought to be Adam's first wife in Genesis 1, while Eve was thr second in Genesis 2.
some christians are embracing lilith for some reason, Also it came from alphabet of ben sirach i think
The patriarchs, Abraham, Noah, Jacob, etc. were Caananites and worshipped a council of gods with El at the head, he had a wife/consort Ashera and his council of gods included Baal, Mot, Yam, Ashtar, Shahar and many others who all had different duties and responsibilities, collectively called the Elohim, you see evidence of this in the names of people and places, ie Isra-el, Dani-el etc. etc.
It wasn’t until around 500-600BCE, during the Babylonian exile that the banished priests began worshipping Yahweh, a monotheistic deity. They rewrote the old myths and legends to urge the Israelites to worship the new god concept. That’s why there are two creation accounts, two flood stories, two sets of Ten Commandments. Genesis 1 to Genesis 2 verse 3 is the account of the Elohim creating the heavens and earth, in the Hebrew Bible it calls them the Elohim, translated simply as ‘god’ in the English versions. “Then god (Elohim) said, let us (plural) make mankind in our (plural) image, in our (plural) likeness”. Genesis 2 1 “Thus the heavens and earth were completed” and the account finishes with the Elohim resting on the seventh day. Then Genesis 2 verse 4 begins the story again with Yahweh (translated as ‘Lord god’ or ‘Lord’) as the creator. “This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord god (Yahweh) made the earth and the heavens”.
After the conversion to monotheism the worship of the old gods was frowned upon, statues of Ashera were smashed and burnt, and her name removed from the biblical record, and in Kings, Elijah tests the priests of Baal before discrediting and slaughtering them for worshipping the gods that their own ancestors, the patriarchs, worshipped.
Psalm 82: El (god) has taken his place in the divine council, among the Elohim (gods) he judges.
@@curbroadshowI’ve seen this copypasta float around but it floats on a lot of conjecture. For example, the Hebrew Bible uses Canaanite or Ugarithic words, therefore, they must have had a pantheon that worked down to monotheism. That also presupposes some reliability of Scripture that skeptics like Kipp Davis will hold to only where it supports their hypothesis. I get it, documentary hypothesis is mainstream. But it is rapidly dying. I’m interested to see what the position on it is by 2030. Atop that and more to the point, it assumes two things: word/concept fallacy and the ANE was monolithic. Just because a word is used, it doesn’t mean the same thing. It’s like saying Zeus and YHWH are the same because they both have the same referent of g-o-d or deity. Plus it doesn’t address why so many loan words on the Torah are Egyptian, but none are Old Persian. As for the monolithic approach, sure, you can find El in Ugarithic and Canaanite pantheons, but nothing for Elyion. And I’ll just add that trying to make Deuteronomy 32:8-9 a secretly polytheistic set of verses is ridiculous when you have spots that equate El with Elyon.
It’s weird you also play the semantic game Mormons do with elohim. Yeah, it’s a plural term, and? It is shown to be used of singular entities. The late Dr. Michael Heiser has written much on the subject of Elohim and Psalm 82:6. Not much else to say.
@@deadalivemaniac It wasn’t a copy and paste (pasta?) but thanks for the input.
@@curbroadshowfor example of El or YHWH equated with Elyon: Genesis 14:22 or Numbers 24:13-16. For a use of Elohim that is singular, see Deuteronomy 32:3.
Gen 1 is clearly a poem, with the first sentence rhyming (in hebrew), and the clear emphasis on 7. Gen 1 is briljant, the text is inexhaustible.

One creation is by God, the other by Lord God
@aliyourbrother1 You caught the true differentiator of the two creations.
God and the angels(Elohim) created humankind in their general image. They are the non Hebrew races(ethnos/gentiles)
Then the LORD(YHVH) created man in his own exact image. This was the first Hebrew man Adam.
Get a grip.
@@jeremyking9185ding ding ding you won a prize. That’s exactly what happened
In the first creation story man was created to have dominion over the earth but in the second creation story, man was created to tend to the garden in Eden.
Brilliant totally different and it why young earthers are so confused. The time between gen1 and Gen 2. It simply states after the sabbath. The 4000yrs time in bible only refers to time since man Adam sinned time b4 Adam is not specifically stated

Excellent presentation, Thank you
I’ve said this for many years and people looked at me like I had 7 heads. Ahhhh….finally!
Genesis 2 is simply an elaboration, that drills down into more detail as to what transpired. There is similar elaboration done in Revelation 12-14, albeit more of a symbolic synopsis of events from the ancient war in heaven leading up to the outpouring of God's wrath, which many wrongly assume is placed in chronological order in the book and leads to much misunderstanding about the order of end-time events.
Fantastic video as usual. I have always accepted that Genesis has had some editing, especially the Moses parts. The cyclical nature of early genesis is not a cut and paste of any ancient document. It could be a new take on them, as it follows in line with other sources. That still leaves open that they all could be from an earlier source, that generated them.

Another expertly crafted and informative journey through an important part of our history with the Creator. Thank you my friend for your teachings.
6:39 Personally I think interpreting the qualification "plant of the field" as narrowing the plants described to cultivated plants ignores the connotation of the hebrew terms used.
The same hebrew word for plant, "עֵ֚שֶׂב," which generally means something like "grass" is used to describe the plants which were described as sprouting in Genesis 1:12. As a side note, the verb used in that verse is "תּוֹצֵ֨א" which in its literal meaning means "to go out" or "to cause to go out of something" which one would expect to mean that the plants fully emerged from the ground.
And considering the fact that the hebrew word "שָּׂדֶה֙" used in this context is used specifically to connote a wild or untamed field in Genesis 25:27 , as opposed to a cultivated field, also makes me skeptical that there is no contradiction between these accounts according to the simple understanding of the original hebrew words.
Other than that, pretty interesting video.
This is excellent work and is precise n why I am old creationist
What a golden nugget of a biblical creation themed video. Thank you 🙏
Intertextuality! This sounds a bit like the book "Before Abraham Was", which points out a structure repeating at different hierarchical levels of the Torah, suggesting an intentional unity. There's a depth there that I had never seen.
Hi Inspiring, Beautiful and consistent analysis, as always. Your videos are uniformly excellent, informative, and thought provoking. I note two areas of divergence in my thinking on Genesis. First, I accept the complementarity of Gn 1 and Gn 2 but I see no evidence supporting the notion of the invalidity of the Documentary Hypothesis. I accept the congruity of Gn 1 and Gn 2 but I also believe the Documentary Hypothesis is valid and useful in understanding the Tanakh, and especially Genesis; I am not alone in this regard. Second, I feel the Temple allusions are at best tenuous. You devote a good chunk of time to the 6 + 1 days of Creation, explaining the seven days as a definite marker for the Temple-related use of a seven-day cycle. But strong evidence supports the idea that Babylonians were first to institute a seven-day week, and only later did the ancient Hebrews adopt this metering of time. Likewise, the importance of an eastern orientation of temples and ritual constructions and events goes back to prehistoric times and is not limited to any particular culture or religious tradition. Stonehenge was constructed before the time of Abraham but counts sunrise so important that it is perfectly oriented to the summer solstice. I somehow doubt that Abraham or, generations later, any of the sons of Levi made an emergency trip to England to be sure Stonehenge was properly oriented toward the east. Sunrise, and especially the equinoxes and the solstices were important to agriculture long before priests came along and reinterpreted the importance of sunrise and seasonal observations. PM 2024

Genesis 1 is God's account of His creation week to Adam. He uses inhuman language such as 'the great light, the lesser light'. It's both a poetic and a technical description.
Genesis 2 is Adam's account of creation, from the perspective of his first observations, so the creation of the Garden of Eden and of his wife. The description is much smaller in scope and more personal.
This was combined with later knowledge his family gained such as what kind of resources can be found along the 4 rivers. It looks like 1 river was poorly explored at the time of writing. It was written before the flood as it implied the current presence of the rivers, but those were destroyed in the Flood.
His family kept writing their history, and this was later edited together by Moses.
I always have taken the second part as the specific man Adam. Because adam means man then there is the specific man with the name Adam. Just like there are angels, angles of the lord and THE Angel of the Lord which is a singled out and specific being with specific duties and purpose when it appears. It appears While there have been many other humans God always singles out specific people, bloodlines and race, and places to carry out his will.
Actuallu, adam means earthling, from the earth, as the Hebrew word for earth is adamah.
Eve, meaning helper or helpmate is intriguing as well, as the nation of Israel is told it has a helper, who is God. So a helper CANNOT be second-class or one who submits to the one helped.
@@DouglasJenkins I said it incorrectly. I meant adam is used as a general term for mankind and then other times it is used for the name Adam. I have heard some people see them as interchangeable and the same entity and some see it as a singled out man within the larger creation of mankind. As far as the meaning of Eve, it’s insignificant.
Another interesting topic😎😁💕
I love the videos with instrumentals
*the enigma of creation*
i learned so many new things from this video which are truly fascinating, especially the garden which has similarities with the temple
i've been fascinated with the creation account 'coz it's the beginning of everything and why we are in the state of flux right now
the creation narrative may appear so simple, yet upon deeper investigation, it's as complex as the universe itself
a few of the most boggling questions that i had were about the source of light in the creation process, the source of water and why our planet has an abundant "liquified" (not solid) form of water, what's the significance of a male rib (does it contain abundant stem cells), and why adam & eve did not die "immediately" after touching & eating the forbidden fruit
actually, i knew some of the answers but it's still not as solidly convincing as i would like it to be
But they did die immediately! After eating the forbidden fruit just as God said.

there's the "physical death" (separation of the soul / spirit from the body); the "spiritual death" (the separation of the soul / spirit from God) and the "2nd death" [the "final death"] (the separation of the soul / spirit from God -- for eternity)
obviously, from a Christian perspective, the "fall of adam & eve" has been referred traditionally as the "spiritual death, and definitely not a physical death nor the 2nd or final death"
also, the other thing that we must consider and point out is the various translations of Genesis 2:17
yes, upon closer Biblical inspection, there's NO such thing as "urgency / immediacy" in the pronouncement of death in Genesis 2:17
we were subconsciously made to assume that Genesis 2:17 is an "instantaneous" physical death
in fact, the various translations of Genesis 2:17 were written in FUTURE TENSE, not in present tense

Bnz scholars say gen 2 is much older than gen 1 . Gen 1 doesn’t want to explain how God created things, since they don’t know, but why people have some qualities and why there is a good God but a hard environment. Gen 1 looks like primitive myths of creation which also want to explain in the first place why people have some abilities. Gen 1 is from another creation myth were some Gods created the earth each with his own deed.

If you are Christian why do you choose the BCE style over the BC style of dating in your videos? Just curious.
Probably because there is no real evidence of jesus. The bible has him being born in 4 BCE and still in the womb in 6 CE. He never wrote anything and no one else wrotre about him for another 30 years and those who did never seen him in person.
Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) does a 'contrast' between light and dark, peace and evil. These (2) accounts are separated in the same way - one with man 'created' and the other as 'formed'. Note also the change from using the term 'God' to 'LORD GOD'.
Hey IP. I have a question. I’ve seen your videos on evolution, and I have to say I have no problem with the possibility of that being God’s method of creation, but where do you fit Adam and Eve into all of that?
I can answer.
Adam and Eve are never claimed to be the first humans explicitly to exist
Adam and Eve only come Into the picture in genesis 2
Genesis 1 records the creation of " man " ( Adam ) which is the Hebrew word for humankind / race etc
In other words Adam and Eve are not the same humans as in genesis 1

So it's like everything about the tabernacle, the priesthood and all the things mentioned in the later half of Exodus and in Leviticus were all made to reflect the garden of Eden where everything was perfect which reflects God's plan to restore us all back to "Eden". And even more amazing is how everything in the OT was a shadow of Christ to come. It's truly amazing how deep God's word is below the surface of the words themselves. Like the ocean which seems so plain on the surface, yet we can only dream of reaching the deepest depths knowing everything about the ocean. Or like space, which seems so dark and empty but to the watchful eye there is so much to discover and explore.
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik wrote The Lonely Man of Faith, a theological study showing how the two creation accounts are intended to complement each other.
It says plants of the field meaning farming plants. It even says that there are no plants of the FIELD because there is no one to till the ground. Then when it talks about God creating plants, trees and animals it says that he is doing all that for this garden he is making (Garden of Eden) not the whole world. If I start making a garden and I plant a bush, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t already bushes in the world. Hope this helps everyone. I haven’t watched the whole video yet so he may say this.

There is a book coming out next year that explains many things. The two accounts of creation are written as parables. The first account describes the physical creation with man as the pinnacle of that creation. This is due to the development of our brain which gave us the ability for imagination. This allowed us to come to the knowledge of an invisible spiritual God. The second account of creation describes Gods revelation of himself to man and the beginning of our spiritual development. We are still in this process of creation and spiritual development which does not end until the lord declares it is done in revelation 21:6. We are now in the times of the gentiles. After this then shall the holy city and government of God and the kingdom shall begin.
I'm so confused how can someone say Genesis 2 is a second creation account. It's blatantly obvious genesis to is a detailed account of day 6. Am I miss something?
when Cain was cast out of the Garden of Eden he feared people living outside the Garden would kill him. the obvious question everyone asks is, what people? that is just one of the questions that causes readers to wonder if there may have been some other kind of humanoid race on earth (perhaps unauthorized) which leads people to re-examine the creation accounts in Genesis
@@dumbcat ohhhh ok makes sense.
Read GENESIS 1:26 and you'll see is so simple. Genesis 1:26 _ In the 6th day, man and woman are created in the image of God, means they have some Divine essence, God's DNA. They are the humans that in historical times and even now, make a difference but not always for good, they are the inventors and the smart ones. Later on, Cain married into that group of 1st humans and they are the city builders and farmers. Takes a lot of science to build a city, to farm and transform what is cultivate into bread, wine, oil, fabrics, ceramics to keep the grains and everything else. And Cain was a farmer. Then comes GENESIS 2:7 _ After the 7th day , God creates a garden on this world, with fruit trees and some animals for that specific place, so He can visit the material world and enjoy it's natural pleasures and beauty and decides to create a man from the dust, to take care of this special place. This man is of the same elements that compose this world, our cells have the same clock as our planet relating to our sun in our place of the universe. The difference between the "dust man", Adam, and the animals is that he had the Divine breath to give him life. Then, finally in GENESIS 2:22 a woman was made from Adam's rib, because Adam was alone and needed someone more or less like him for company, and that's Eve, a clone of Adam because he has XY chromosomes and Eve got the X from him. So when Adam made his kids he was making them with part of himself. Abel, was a lazy bones guy that would take the cattle to different pastures and his cattle probably ate Cain's crops one too many times. I hope this will help.
@@dumbcat I understand from reading that the whole family was out of the Garden of Eden. Cain and Abel where born after the expulsion of Adam and Eve. Cain was exiled to the land of Nod in the East after kiling Abel, and I think that was the place where the 1th humans created in the image of God(God's dna) in the 6th day, lived. They were the smart ones, Cain marries into that group and become the builder of citys. Abel was a shepherd and latter on Seth took is place.
Bc the creation of Adam happened generations after the 6th day creation
Apparently the garden of eden was done separately, on the sixth day, after the general creation, including the individual human Adam.
Genesis 2 is a micropicture of Eden being specially created as man's intended first home, likely to be expanded as time went by.
Yeah, that makes great sense. There is even acknowledgement of other lands besides Eden at that time, such as antediluvian Havilah and antediluvian Cush.
Except the humans created in Genesis 1 were created in the image of the Elohim and the humans created in Genesis 2 were not created in the image of the Elohim.
@@davidprince8461
There isn’t really grounds for saying that. You may as well say that in Genesis 1 God decided to create humans (since it’s an explicit part of the story there) whereas in Genesis 2 God did not decide to create humans (since it is absent there just like the imago Dei, which is found actually in the part where God decides to create humans in Genesis 1, is absent in Genesis 2).
What you say is really a nonsensical logical assertion.
@@KMANelPADRINObesides male and female, the only definition of what image and likeness are is from the story when in Genesis 3 YHWH said "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil".
The first humans created in the image of the Elohim already had the knowledge of good and evil and they were told by the Elohim that they could eat any seed bearing fruit from "every" tree on the face of the Earth.
The humans created by YHWH did not know the difference between right and wrong and they were forbidden from eating from the tree of knowing right from wrong.
The two stories contradict each other. 2 different gods/entities with 2 different names/titles making 2 different creations of humans on 2 different days given different directives having drastically different results.
1st god blessed its creation and rested on day 7.
2nd one cursed the earth, all the animals and all humans after its creation of humans on day 7, ate the forbidden fruit.
So no, you just need to read a little further in the story than verses 1&2 for the grounds of what i am saying.
You on the other hand, really have no grounds to say the imago dei is anything other than the knowledge of good and evil.
@@davidprince8461
For that last question, curious.
Why so?
It's more that the Aaronic priestly system was given to call back to Eden, no? Great comparisons between the two nonetheless.
Regarding the pattern of an 8 day period, there is a NT parallel example of Jesus' final week which begins on Palm Sunday (Day 1) and concludes in His death on Friday (Day 6) followed by rest (Day 7), only to begin again with a new week on Resurrection Sunday (Easter). One notable linguistic parallel is also interesting. The Greek term for finished in John 19:30 contains the same root (Teleo) as the LXX of Genesis 2:1. The terms in both places mean the same thing--to complete or accomplish.
I read Genisis1's account as a generalization and prophetic account of creation.Genisis2's account is a more detailed account of the 6th and 7th day of man's story of falling and eventual redemption which wasn't completed till Christ came and the end of Revelation is the story of going from the 6th to the 7th day where God rests from all his works. I do not see the days in Genisis1 as literal 24 hour days.
This is a great analysis. The seventy invocations of God is a fantastic piece of evidence, that's really convincing.
I'm curious if you can do similar work for the stories where the appearance of a dual tradition is obvious - especially the story of Joseph and the story of the Ten Commandments.
One on genesis 37 is already in the works
Great explanation. I have always tried to explain that the 7 days of Genesis 1 are not 7x24hrs.
A day is not defined as 24hrs but rather as the time it takes for the earth to revolve around its axis.
As initially, the earth was void and without form, we do not know how long it took to form and rotate once.
This is supported by science
Also though, if a human can be raised from the dead, and a being of word can create all creation, there is no reason a day isn't 24hrs. That debate has always seemed stupid to me. It's not even worth talking about.
Yes, they are 24 hours.

There is an alternative to the Documentary Hypothesis which goes in the opposite direction. The Wiseman Hypothesis suggests that rather than Genesis being a late gathering of traditions a long time after Moses, Moses himself compiled Genesis out of multiple accounts, which can be identified by a pattern of toledoths. In this model, Genesis 1 and 2 are indeed written by different authors, and these authors are God and Adam. Additionally, the transition is not where our modern Bible start chapter 2. Rather, Adam's account begins in 2:4. Whether Genesis is a compilation or all written by Moses, however, there is no contradiction between the order of 1 and 2 if, as the video points out, chapter 2 is focused on a specific geographical area with a special purpose focused around man, with 2:4-6 being an introductory summary of the setting.
As for the mirroring, if Genesis is true, then Genesis does not need a single human author. Mirroring is inherent in history because God is real, and authors inspired by the Holy Spirit will focus on such elements. That is why the same patterns show up through the entirety of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, not just internally with the books of Moses.
Now, if it is the case that Genesis predates Moses and that it is an accurate account of creation, that has interesting implications about the similarities in narrative structure to myths in the surrounding culture. The Documentary Hypothesis attempts to claim that Genesis is based on pagan stories, but what if it is the other way around? What if the Egyptians and Babylonians and such had corrupted versions of Genesis?

True to the character of God, the two accounts of Creation are complementary and not contradictory. In Genesis 1:26, “God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” which is Spirit, eternal - for God is Spirit (John 4:24) and those joined to/united with God are one in Spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17, Romans 8:14). In Genesis 2:7, “The Lord God formed man of the dust on the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” - thus, man as body and soul, mortal. It’s pieces of a puzzle, but this might make sense to those who see and hear. And so, await the blessed hope and trust in the Word! ☺️

What if they're both right and the first account is telling about the creation of the world and humankind. But the second one is a story of the creation of the garden of eden and the creation of Adam first. He breathe his life force Into Adam. Then a time later he made eve from Adam asking them half of a whole being. Being imbued with God's life force. Separated from the world in the garden of eden. Thus being the "Apple of gods eye". And they were separated from the other hominids for a time. Until they got kicked out of the garden. And their sons went and found wives from the other hominids not imbued with gods life force.

Many sceptics have claimed contradictions between the account in Genesis chapters 1 and 2, or that they were written by different authors; people who make these claims with little or no evidence to support them.
There are essentially two claims of contradiction between Genesis 1 and 2 as follows:
1 - PLANT LIFE
The first claimed contradiction relates to the description in both accounts of the creation of plant life. Genesis 1:11 records that God created vegetation on the third day before the creation of man: Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.
Genesis 2:5 states that God created man: “…before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground”.
So which account is correct?
Did God create vegetation on the third day before He created man as recorded in Genesis 1, or after He created man as is seemingly suggested in Genesis 2? The answer is very simple and is rooted in the fact that the English language is sometimes insufficient and inadequate in its depth to properly express and translate the original Hebrew (a real problem for those Christians who claim the 1611 King James Bible takes precedence over the original languages used in the Bible). The Hebrew words for vegetation used in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are different and mean different types of vegetation; some Bible versions deal with this better than others. Genesis 1:11 uses a Hebrew term referring to vegetation in general, whereas Genesis 2:5 uses a more specific Hebrew term referring to vegetation requiring cultivation (i.e. a person to care and tend to it). Genesis 1 is referring to God creating vegetation not requiring cultivation before He created Adam, and Genesis 2 is referring to God creating vegetation that did require cultivation (farming) after He had created the first farmer (Adam); why would God create plant life that required farming before He had created the first farmer? The New King James Version quoted above does use different English terms to describe vegetation in Genesis 1:11 and Genesis 2:5, but still falls short of the intended meaning found in the original Hebrew.
2 - ANIMAL LIFE
The second claimed contradiction relates to animal life. Genesis 1:24-25 records God creating animal life on the sixth day, before He created Adam, whereas most translations of Genesis 2:19 seems to suggest that God created animals after. For example, the New International Version of Genesis 2:19-20 says: “Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals”.
It has been claimed that the above passage (in some translations such as the NIV) says that God created Adam first, then the animals and then brought the animals to Adam for him to name them. But the text does not say that; read in context even in a poor version like the NIV Verse 19 says: “Now the LORD God had [already] formed out of the ground all the wild animals…”
On the sixth day, God created the animals, then created man, and then brought the animals to Adam to name.
There are no contradictions between the creation accounts of Genesis 1 and 2, and one author wrote both accounts - Moses.
Genesis 1 is the account of God creating the universe and life on earth in chronological order during a period of six literal days, whereas Genesis 2 is an expanded account of the events that occurred at the end of the sixth day, when God created Adam. Other than the fact that Adam was created in God’s image, Genesis 1 provides very little detail of the creation of Adam. For a book dedicated to introducing the relationship between God and man - the pinnacle of God’s creation - the information provided in just four verses in Genesis 1 is not much at all. This is because Genesis 1 was never intended to be set apart from Genesis 2 and 3 in the way that it has been by the subsequent inclusion of chapter and verse separations.
In Genesis 2 the author (Moses) provides greater detail about the creation of man. He uses a common literary device describing an event from the general to the specific; he first describes the sequence of creation, and then clarifies the most important details (especially of the sixth day). Whilst it is understood and acknowledged that Genesis to Deuteronomy in their present form
were compiled during the Jewish exile in Babylon, it is widely accepted in Jewish tradition that Moses wrote the content of the first five books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah, but also often referred to in Scripture as the Law (with the obvious exception of the account of Moses’ own death, which was most likely written by Joshua).
Have viewed this as God spoke [ ch 1 ] and The Lord [ Jesus ] brought manifestation. He is the word that was with God is God. All things were made by HIM & without him was not anything made. But had not yet seen the garden as the image of the temple. THANK YOU !
Jesus is not mentioned anywhere in the story of Genesis.

At some point I noticed that there were two creation accounts, or at least that Genesis was not particular about the order of creation and inconsistent about whether women were created from men. I never thought that they directly conflicted, because they were presented together without any comment on their differences and in support of the same general agenda.
For one thing I think these differences in how creation is described at the outset of Genesis and then throughout scripture preclude attempts to read the Bible as a natural history. Pointing out the supposed errors of Genesis revealed by later scientific discoveries don't serve to discredit scripture as intended when the text was not addressing the same kind of questions. Nothing in Galileo's cosmology is inconsistent with believing that it is the work of a Creator who endowed humanity with free will--or at least Galileo for one didn't think so.
Fantastic !
This is why I can’t get behind the Bible. There are far too many different versions of it, too many revisions, it’s been omitted, translated, added to, repeated again over the years, divided into different versions for us not only to decide which ones we want to follow, but it’s also up for individual interpretation to suit our beliefs and all are completely valid….some how….even when they’re so completely different and or completely contradict each other.

To imply that the Garden is a figure of the Temple is to read something into the scriptures. It's fun to do as long as you don't hang any doctrines or dogma on it. When that happens then you proceed down the road to Catholicism or worse - Islam or Mormonism.
Why is be fruitful and multiply mentioned twice in chapter one and not again .Why is it not mentioned in the origin statements of Jesus and Paul in the new testament. Gen 1: 22 and Vs 28 .Does it mean the same thing?
I enjoy reading about God creating the heavens and the earth. :) Its so exciting!
Deep....that's for the knowledge
Hey IP is the apocrypha canon?
You jave given me an auxiliary understanding of Gen 2. I have understood for wuite some time that gen 1 and teo are seperate creations from seperate deities.
The talk about plants and animals being specific to agriculture and the no mentioning of light and dark make me think of the golden age of Saturn, aka the purple dawn- tge lsnd before time. Firstly Saturn was seen as a titan of agriculture, often depicted with a scythe. There's also a theory backed with a wide areay of evidence that Saturn used to be Earth's primary star at the north pole, during ehich time thete was no day and night, only the purple haze from the corona of Saturn's electromagnetic field.
Evidence for this includes accounts of Saturn being "the best son", couns that depict Saturn as the sun. World wide cave paintings of "squatterman" along with plasma physics experiments thst reproduce squatterman via plasma contained within an magnetic field. We also know that giant mushrooms dominated the land before plants, grass came into significant being 10 million years ago. Mushrooms don't need light, only radiation, as opposed to grass that needs light for photosynthesis to exchange sugars with micelium for every non-sugar component of itself.
It also would explain how giants and dinosaur like creatures could exist within the early old testament, as itysaid that earth's gravity field eould have been less intense during pirole dawn, as Earth either had less mass, or the electrinagnetic strength of earth was different. Gravity being best described as latent omnidirectional magnetism. It woukd also explain the "long lives" in the early old testament.
The flood could be lined up with a cataclisms described as the war in the heavens when the sun entered our solar system, saturn was cast to the far reaches of tartarus and mars and venus discharged enormous arcs of electricity due to shifting potentials and placements
It has always seemed to be the first account was a pre-mortal creation, the next was a physical creation.
