i see it differently, GOD's creations step by step in gen 1, then more specifics on the creation of man, it is simply a continuation with more details. I am certain Adam was the first.
Blessings
That creates a problem for me because I see differences in the account
In Genesis chapter One
They all (plural) were CREATED.
Created is Hebrew word #1254 bara'
"...male and female created he them" (Gen 1:27)
But in Genesis chapter Two
Adam alone (singular) is FORMED
Formed is Hebrew word #3335 yatsar
"...in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed." (Gen 2:8)
Genesis 1) They are created male and female at the same time. No 'Adam's Rib' here!
Genesis 2) Adam is formed some time before Eve. She later being made from him.
Genesis 1) They were simply created, human and mortal.
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb 9:27).
Genesis 2) Adam given the breath of life, became a living soul.
(Adam would have lived forever had he not fell - see Gen 6:3 "for that he also is flesh"). Ask yourself, "also," as in whom else?
Genesis 1) They are told to multiply.
"...Be fruitful and multiply..." (Gen 1:28)
Genesis 2) No such command is given to Adam and Eve
(Adam's family was told to multiply after the flood; i.e., Noah's family was told in Gen 9:1).
Mankind given dominion over animals and fish.
Adam was a farmer.
The animals were wild animals and the plants were wild plants. No names given. They were domestic animals and crop plants.
Adam named these.
There was not yet rain. "...went up a mist from the earth..."(Gen 2:6)
The creation was completed. All the various
races, men and women alike, were created.
THEN ------ >>>
But after that, in Gen 2:5, God saw that He "did not have a man to till the ground" (farmer).
So God then FORMED Adam.
But probably the most striking evidence that Genesis chapter One and Genesis chapter Two are not speaking of the same event would be:
In Gen 1, the plants and animals were created BEFORE man(kind) was created.
In Gen 2, the plants and animals were formed AFTER the man Adam was formed.
Nice to speak with you again. And may I ask, are you familiar with Hebrew article and particle?
