I missed this because it was not yet posted when I last read this page! It is very invenitve but IMPOSSIBLE to justify from the Hebrew text!
Gen 3:20
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
KJV
tells us that Eve was the mother of all living [humans]. Eve's name cha vah literally means Life Comes!
In addition the Hebrew grammar does not allow chapter 2 to be read as a separate event from verse 1!
Gen 2:4
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
KJV
These אֵ֣לֶּה In Hebrew, the noun that a pronoun refers to ALWAYS precedes the pronoun. Thus ALL THAT FOLLOWS is referred back to chapter 1. The fact that this pronoun is plural indicates that it looks back to multiple statements or events.
are the generations תוֺלְד֛וֺת usually means genealogies; but in this case it means history of the origin.
in the day בְּיׄוֺם can mean either in the day or in the time [duration unspecified]. Since it refers back to chapter 1, we know 6 days were xodusinvolved [ plus an optional gap between either verses 1 and 2, and/or verses 2 and 3].

I would think that the time frame being 14th,13th century bce that Job,Genesis,Exodus, Leviticus,Deuteronomy and Numbers to have been written in the earlier Proto-Sinatic script and not the more modern forms of Hebrew. I suppose that what we do have to go by today would be after the original(autograph) of these early books anyway though it made me wonder how we would even know the fine details of the literature of the Hebrew script from that time period.
