Masterful! Thank you for the great insights into the text Chris!

Many people refuse to acknowledge any different interpretations of scripture because it requires them to consider that their specific set of religious beliefs may not necessarily be biblical. It’s important that we study scripture thoroughly and understand the context to better understand God.

Smart, concise, and accurate. Most importantly, you don't force your own idea into the text, but present your honest understanding of it. This is the way of doing it. God bless you.

Great video. The breakdown and explanation helped me understand a lot more. God bless you.

Hello! Good video! I didn’t clearly understand the video completely, but it thought it was a good one. Anyway, I want to hear about your opinions about the popular theory of four writers for the four first chapter Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers?

Very beautifully explained. Thank you so much.

Great Video. Thanks for making it.

Chris, thank you for your videos. I just recently discovered your channel and am getting a lot of understanding from what I've watched so far. Can you explain why you use "she" to refer to the serpent at the end of this video? I'm just curious about what else you know about the serpent.

The phrase be fruitful and multiply are mentioned in Genesis 1 :22 referencing the creation .Then in vs 28 to man and woman . Are these phrases complimentary or just a statement of overview of the first account .Does Hebrew poetry factor in to this like Psalm 19 . The heavens and the law ?

I'm learning Alot from u that blessing. God bless u more & more 🙏

If one looks carefully at the two creation accounts the same ABC ABC D pattern can be observed in both accounts. It's fairly obvious in Genesis 1 but it is evident in the 2nd creation story as well (Gen 2:4-25): A. The watering of the earth (4-6) and (10-14). B. Man created and placed in the garden (7-8) and (15). C. The trees of the garden (9) and ( 16-17). The 7th and highlighted unit here is marriage (18-25). The 7th unit of the 1st account is the Sabbath, the 7th day. Both highlighted units contain creation as well as gospel/redemption implications. Martha

Actually, one could add an extra dimension to the chiastic structure, where Gen 2:4-7 corresponds to the last chapter in this toledoth, especially chapter 4:1-16, where the ground and the growth stand at the centre, along with God giving life and Cain taking life. Many thanks Chris for these videos, a valuable help in my own studies and writing.

Great God bless

it makes more sense i think, to put the solicitation at the end of the video. When I know if i like it or not.

Isn't it true the 2 creation stories at beginning of genesis differ on timing of when things were created?

At the writing of Genesis Israel was divided into a northern kingdom and his southern kingdom the two separate accounts are two distinct and separate literary styles which indicate two separate authors

I was expecting to hear an exegesis between the 2 creations stories (along with their conflicts), but just heard more commentary about chapters 3 and 4. Focus man, focus.

What’s your last name Chris… Do you teach full book commentary’s ?. Your awesome at this and would love to find someone that shares this way.

The "original" bible didn't have chapters or verses at all. Chapters and verses were added in the 1500's. I don't think a chapter contradicts another. It was all one account.

The first chapter is where he creates. The second chapter is where he forms his creation. There is a difference between creation and formation

The second account isn't even attempting to be a "creation account" of the world. It is a recursion into the creation (really formation) of Adam and a limited set of animals that would help him live a domesticated life style. It is a smaller work within the larger work, whose purpose was to help man complete the job of subduing the earth, and himself by bringing line of Messiah.

That’s pretty cool I didn’t think about that. The fact that God breathed into Adam as a sign of his intimacy with Adam and Adams absolute dependence on God

Can you tell me why you refer to the serpent as 'her'? In my bible, I read of the serpent that "He said to the woman..." I see no reference to the serpent being female.

Chapter 2:4b onwards is likely the original account. It shows creation in a different order than chapter one, and more importantly, reveals it's earlier written date in the naming convention of god. Chapter 2 uses the earlier form YHWH Elohim, while chapter 1 only uses Elohim, which came about after writing out the holy name became a bit taboo. Chapter 1 is considered a Priestly account, and reveals a God who perfectly creates everything, including man and woman being made simultaneously. In chapter 2, man is created first, then God creates the animals in an attempt to find a "help mate" for the man. Chapter 2 has a God who has to tinker with his creation, which is not what is shown in chapter 1.

Learned something thank you. Had to look up college word chiastic. "Chiastic structure, or chiastic pattern, is a literary technique in narrative motifs and other textual passages. An example of chiastic structure would be two ideas, A and B, together with variants A' and B', being presented as A,B,B',A'." 😀

Some very interesting points made. And for the most part, I can agree with all of them. However, there's that unspoken of elephant _(or two)_ in the video. That is to say, chapter one and chapter two are not talking about the same thing. Chapter one is about giving purpose and function to *all of* our world. While chapters two & three are *solely* about Eden. So, two different events, at two different times.

I have studied Creation and the Theory of Evolution finding holes in both sides of the debate!

Notification gang!!!

Super helpful - thanks so much. Just curious . . . it sounds like you refer to the serpent as "she" in the conclusion. Why?

Very nice pointing out the chiasm in the text. However, that doesn't help resolve the problem that the order of the the Gen 1 and Gen 2 accounts seem to be different.

Could ch1 be God creating the world spiritually and ch2 God creating physically?

Gen 1:27 he told the male and female to go out and “replenish” the Earth. But Adam and Eve weren’t created until After Gen 2… as a matter of fact Adam was made(during a process- earth and breath) and then Eve(a DIFFERENT process- rib). AND God didn’t tell them to do ANYTHING but not eat of that 1 tree(out of 3). He didn’t say ANYTHING about going into the world to populate or REpopulate anything. He didn’t even send them into the world. He put them in a GARDEN. Almost like a barrier to the “world”. As if he didn’t WANT them involved in what he told the male and female in Gen 1:27. My point is, they aren’t the same people and they didn’t have the same JOB.

Confusing and complicated is What i got .I also noted how you dodged an explanation for chapter 1 could it be that scientifically the order in which things are created don't make sense? Also chapter 1 is 95% narrative of earths creation and the rest about (heavens )universe

That was a great study.

there are major contradictions in both creation storys this is why people mix up both stories saying it was created in six days he rested on the seventh day and Eve was from the rib of Adam, in the first creation story day and light is created then the firmament the dry land, the seas, the plants the sea creatures, the animals and man and woman created in Gods image, the second creation story is completely different, first Adam is made from clay God breathed into him, then God walked around and created plants and animals and had Adam name the animals he needed a help mate so Adam went to sleep God took his rib to make a woman, the second creation story has no mention of day or light or the sun or moon, or creation of land or sea, we don't know if this is all in one day or how long this occurred, the second creation man and women are not made in God's image thats a big difference, both born full adults who could speak is a miracle, the truth hurts but the truth is that this is obviously two different authors the writing styles are completely different, God's intentions are totally different in each story, in the second story God is a human walking on earth, it doesn't say God created the earth or the universe but the first creation story explains where day and night came in and most importantly why the seventh day was so sacred that it is a sin to work on Sunday, is not mentioned in the second story, its not meant to be taken literally or historically these are just ancient Israelite stories thats all but great Hebrew literature

How about the creation in chapter1? How about the creation in chapter2 ?

I have a simple explanation- God doesn't change. He says that we shouldn't believe one witness, there should be two or three. And from my studies, He consistently provides at least two accounts of every thing He says, some times more. He does what He tells us to do. Adam was standing right next to Eve the entire time she was talking to the serpent. Just standing there. I wonder if this is why, in Matthew, it says, sin entered the world thru Adam. I have so many questions about this, but I haven't found anyone addressing it (people often don't believe me until they go and re-read it) I guess it would be impossible for us to understand an unfallen mind, so my questions can't come close to relevance - but he just stood there and didn't interrupt while she misstated what Adam himself might have told her (she hadn't been formed when God told Adam not to eat from the tree, but she was a part of Adam so it is possible she heard it from God then. But, since God doesn't change, and the NT say woman are supposed to learn from their husbands, it is possible it was Adam who told Eve) Adam just stood there silent. Is that what innocence looks like? Jesus was silent during parts of His trial. I just found one of your videos 2 days ago. It was on Jacob and him wrestling with God. I never understood that and thank you greatly for explaining it. I've watched several now, and look forward to exploring your past posts when I have the time. Thank you for your content! I very much appreciate it all. God bless you.

I really hope you read and answer my question. Question: why is it that In Genesis 1, the animals were created first and then man (gen 1: 24 and 26) but in chapter 2, (gen 2:19) man was created first and asked to name the animals? It doesn't make sense because generally speaking, it is sad man was created on the seven day. So chapter two of Genesis creates more confusion and I wonder why it was allowed in the compilation. This is why I came searching for answers. Please if you can answer my question it would mean a lot to me

How do you reconcile the difference in order of events? In chapter one plants are made on day 3 and earthly animals are created on day 6 before man is created. But in chapter 2 it is clear that man is created before plants and animals. Also in chapter 1 earth and heavens are created on different days but in chapter 2 it says earth and heaven were made in the same day?

Dude. You didnt answer the question. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don't know what socalled Theologians are interpreting about GENESIS 's first 3 chapters? But when understood correctly, chapter 2 is everything about chapter 1 being explained in broken down detail, "all the details" to ADAM! That's all it is written that way. FACT! NOT TWO SEPARATE CREATIONS! Thank you for your video explanation.

The book of revelation is written in a chiastic structure, not only the book of Revelation but the whole bible is written in a chiastic structure.

Did u call the serpent a "her" towards the end of video???

There are two creation accounts in Genesis. In Chapter 1, we have the general creation of the universe, the earth, etc., but in Chapter 2 beginning with verse 4 we have the second creation. This is a separate creation (but not a full creation) because we read this is the generations of the heavens and the earth WHEN THEY WERE CREATED and IN THE DAY that the Lord God MADE the heavens and the earth. For those who can read, the next verses indicate future events following the 7th day of rest, hence why some call Adam the 8th day creation. I fail to understand why it is so difficult for some to understand that "when they were created" indicates that the prior creation events in Chapter 1 are now past at this point and we are beginning a new series of creation events but that is okay. The only reason they don't understand is they would rather listen to a man than the Bible.

interesting מעניין

I am wrestling with the question, why would God say that he will make a helper for Adam, but after I said there was not a helper found for Adam as if they were looking for one? Is somewhat a spiritual contribution

To focus on one thing at a time. It’s easier that way topic wise.

Chapter 1 is a scientific and moral acount. It answers the question "grandfather, how did everything come to be and howcome God has the right to rule over everything. Chapter 2 answers the question " grandfather, how is it that we Hebrews trust God? Chapter 2 is the acount of the generations of the heavens and earth, just like chapter 5 is the generations of Adam. Books of generations are not the whole detailed history, they are more focused.

You went silent on the contradictions in chapter 1 and 2.

Nicely created video. Faulty conclusion due to Genesis 2:21-22 that was done to humankind which is where the tampering aka “fall” of humankind occurred on the 7th day of rest. How do I know this? The Spirit of Truth teaching me ALL Truths John 14:26. You are correct that Genesis 2:4 through Genesis 3 are related. You are also wise to notice the parallels and color code them quite accurately between chapters 2 and 3. I will outline some things below. *There are two separate creators and **_two creations on earth_** with the plants, animal, Adam (humankind).* This is why the creators have different names of Elohim (not all Elohim is the One True Creator such Gen 1:26 differ from Gen 3:22; you *know the One True Creator by Their Good Fruits)* versus YHVH in the Hebrew Text of both creations. *Any words in quotes will either be falsehoods or direct quotes or both, such as “covenant name” is both a direct quote from you which is falsehood.* The central focus and theme of both creations is Adam (humankind) which in both creation was created in the image of the One True Creator. *Who is the one True Creator?* *To know the One True Creator and grasp the concept of Them, one need to look at the image which is Adam (humankind).* Adam (mankind) was a hermaphrodite (one human body with both male and female genders created at the SAME TIME with the Word) as seen in Gen 1:26-28 where *they were created in the Hermaphrodite image of the One True Creator [Mother-Father] not the falsehood adopted in Christianity of “Father-Son” nor the Israelite aka “Jews” understanding of just one male deity.* Neither is true or there would be no need for female in plant, animal, and humankind life for procreation. Focusing on Adam (humankind) in Genesis 2; why would a male creator see a need for female if female was not a part of the One True Creator’s image? Also the excuse used in Genesis 2:18-20 that Adam was lonely and needed a helper because all the animals and trees around wasn’t enough of company; *why not create another male in the image of the MALE creator as a “helper” for Adam?* Let’s examine both creations and come up with some questions you might want to contemplate and seek answers on, with me giving a few insights in this limited box. *Creation by Word* Examine Genesis 1:1-2:3 Chap 1 1-10 first day: light; second day: heaven and earth. 11-13 is the third day: plant life. 14-19 is the fourth day: sun, moon, and stars. 20-23 is the fifth day: water creatures and air creatures (“birds”). 24-25 is the first part of sixth day: land animal. 26-28 is the last part of sixth day: Adam (mankind) which is male and female in one body. Chap 2 1-3: Everything in creation was FINISHED! This includes female from Gen 1:26-28 and this female was not called Eve. *There was only Adam NOT Adams.* *Creation by Soil* Chap 2 4-7 is some random day but no plant life was created since slave (mankind) was needed to till aka work the ground, so instead of using the Word to create Adam as was done in Gen 1:26-27 *now man is being formed out of the soil and being formed before plant life* which was the first created thing on earth on the third day even before the sun, moon, and stars, and definitely way before Adam was created. *ALL plant life was created before the animal life and Adam! The Word also does not need anyone to blow breath into Adam to have Adam be alive as the Word is complete and need zero physical manipulation by physical hands to mold anything! [John 1:1-4]* 8-9: plant life created and *now TWO FRUIT trees are standing out for some reason* when Gen 1:11-13, 29-30 show that there are herbs with seeds and fruits with seeds which is for Adam (mankind) and green herb for animal life. *Let me know where in the Creation by Word in Day 1-6 are there any plant life that is forbidden or pointed out as special; or anything but Good took place for there to be a Tree that has knowledge of “Evil,” something that was not created by the Word of the One True Creator?* 15-17 Forced labor on Adam. *An opposing order from Gen **1:29**-31 to eat ALL fruits and herbs with seeds which is GOOD to Gen **2:17** that one FRUIT TREE is BAD/EVIL; so why is there a new order that contradicts this good thing of eating ALL fruits?* And why is there anything that is good to eat now poisonous to cause death if eaten by Adam in verse 2:17? *_If the FRUIT of KNOWLEDGE is FORBIDDEN why is it on earth and for whom is it for? [James 1:13, 16-18]_* The only Knowledge revealed was NAKEDNESS of humankind that caused them to feel ashamed once they had KNOWLEDGE; why is this? *Why is YHVH now afraid of MANKIND KNOWLEDGE OF NAKEDNESS?* 18-20 Other than the obvious WRONG order where Adam was created before everything; why does Adam need a “helper” aka another slave to help him till the soil? 21-22: _Did YHVH run out of soil and breath to create Eve?_ *Why DISFIGURE/tamper one creature (male mankind) to create another creature (female mankind)? If this did not occur with the other creatures of creation; **_why is the GOOD IMAGE of the One True Creator need to be adjusted but nothing else?_** Adam was created Perfect and would need zero remodeling and thus the conclusion that Adam needed a helper and “his” physical form needed to be tampered with to bring about this “helper” is falsehood and clear to anyone that has the spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear what the Spirit of Truth is showing us [John 14:26].* Yeshua aka “Jesus” spoke against this in Matthew 19:3-12 (Especially Matthew 18:4-6) 23-25: Who was narrating in verse 24? Why were they naked and NOT ASHAMED? *Do you KNOW WHAT NAKEDNESS in context is in this passage? [Matthew 6:24-34; Revelation 3:17-22; Matthew 3 (Yeshua eyes were closed until his water baptism when he OVERCAME his ignorance and was RIGHTEOUS hence why his ministry did not start until then- Matthew 3:3 and Revelation 3:21)]* Chap 3 *1-7 Who was honest, YHVH or the serpent? Did Adam and Eve DIE (Gen 2:17)? Did their eyes became opened and had knowledge like YHVH and FINALLY became aware that they were NAKED (Gen 3:4-5, 22).* 8-10 _Why did Adam and Eve hid from YHVH based on the KNOWLEDGE they now have?_ *[YHVH: Matthew 10:28 versus One True Creator: 1 John 4:8,18; Hosea 6:6 & John 17:2-4]* 11-19 What is truly going on here? Love does NOT punish [1 John 4:18]! *20 Why is Adam calling Eve the mother of ALL living things, yet in Gen **3:16** Adam is to rule/have dominion over her (contradicting Gen **1:26**-28 the male and female were both given dominion over the creation on earth equally and not over each other)? The short answer is the One True Creator gave no command of mankind ruling [having dominion] over each other.* The ridiculous excuse being used for this FALSEHOOD is because the female gave the male the fruit to eat that gave them KNOWLEDGE that they are NAKED that all of humankind having KNOWLEDGE that they are NAKED is FALLEN also known as living in unrighteousness/sin (unlike before in Gen 2:25 when female and male had ZERO KNOWLEDGE of Good and Evil, they felt zero shame of their NAKEDNESS). 21-25: *Why is YHVH now afraid of Adam and Eve eating from the Tree of Life because they now have TRUE KNOWLEDGE that they are NAKED and this TRUE KNOWLEDGE, not the FAKE KNOWLEDGE YHVH gave them, of this NAKEDNESS that causes SHAME in Adam and Eve, why the rush to get rid of them?* Why does YHVH want to kill Adam and Eve? Why not just slaughter them immediately instead of having them suffer tilling the soil for many years to feed themselves and to have painful childbirth? If YHVH truly wants mankind to procreate, why make it so painful to deter having babies? If someone touches a HOT stove and it BURNS them, a rational person would not keep causing themselves pain, so what is truly going on with the CURSE of painFUL childbirth? [Gen 3:22 Elohim is YHVH and 1/3 fallen angels guarding Tree of Life from humankind] I have been called [Acts 1:4-8, John 14:26] to seek on 11 Feb 2018; and a lot is is revealed. The forces of Darkness seek to crush me at every corner primarily using humans to do so. *But alas, I am here and I have bitten of the Tree of Knowledge contrary to **_YHVH (who is TRULY Lucifer also called Satan or the devil, hence why Adam and Eve hid as they knew YHVH DESTROYED living creatures on earth formed from the Word on the seventh day while the One True Creator rested)_** telling my predecessors to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge. I keep biting chunks of KNOWLEDGE out of that succulent FRUIT and it is VERY GOOD! And contrary to YHVH falsehood that I will die from eating from the Tree of Knowledge [Gen **2:16**-17]; I have escaped his plans of dragging me to DARKNESS/DEATH through IGNORANCE (Lack of KNOWLEDGE).* If one has no knowledge that walking off a cliff will kill them; then they will walk off a cliff and die. What one does not KNOW will KILL them. Yeshua told us to seek knowledge. Will you follow the murderous YHVH of the Christian Old Testament Bible/Torah or Yeshua of the Christian New Testament Bible? *Please notice, I said nothing about following “Apostle” Paul; because if you do follow him- you will be just as lost as following Moses who gave us YHVH! “Apostle” Paul and Moses were used by the same entity.* Moses knew YHVH as the Bush that is Burning but does not Burn that ORDERS DEATH and mutilation which is the Dragon of the Christian Bible of Revelation. “Apostle” Paul knew YHVH as the Bright Light and Voice that blinds claiming to be “Yeshua” that said no good works which is the First Beast in the Christian Bible of Revelation. YHVH/Lucifer/Satan is influenced by Babylon/Darkness/Spirit of Falsehood aka Spirit of Error. The way to defeat all these beasts is from the Tree of Knowledge by seeking! *Stay blind in ignorance accepting the lies/falsehood Moses and “Apostle” Paul brought us; or truly seek as Matthew 7 and Matthew 6:24-34 tells us to do!*

I do not know if you will even get this but I’m going to try anyway. There was a man that taught the real Bible when he passed away his daughter started teaching it. She has really long hair. Anyway I lost my way of watching them I love learning about this book. Do you know who it was or someone that teaches the real one. She would compare it to King James Version. I was beating myself up about not be able to remember the way people could just throw stuff at you. Well God woke me up told me to open the Bible. Well I’ll never will forget this one. I read”knowledge is for knowing but without the spirit it is nothing. I think I’ll stay with that. You can feel truth. I tell people the only thing I truly own that no one can take away is my enter knowing or discernment whatever you want to call it. Also it is bugging me that in the beginning of the book there is a word used that means more than one. In other words more than one God that made earth true or not. I was looking into all of that when I lost everything. I was in a coma no I was on a visit for a week stay in icu for another week went straight home for icu. I was blessed

I came here to see why animals were made before man in chapter 1 and why man was made first before animals in chapter 2.

Why do the accounts contradict?

In chapter 1 he created humankind. Second he created Adam and Eve. The couple of verses in chapter 2 let you know something went wrong because there was no rain for a while.

Great stuff, but he didn't do anything to reconcile chapter one with chapter two. I suggest that anyone having problems with them being compatible needs to recognize that chapter two focuses on the garden that God created to place man in and that the creation of the earth and universe, as a whole was just explained in chapter one. In other words, don't believe the idea some people present that Genesis is a mishmash of stories written by different people at different times and stuck together as best as possible. Take chapter one seriously, it gives the correct description of creation events for the world. Chapter two focusses on the garden and does not describe the world outside the garden.

The first flood account matches in style and context to the second Genesis account. Addition to the beginning of the creation myth and Noah's calling, the first Genesis monomyth. The template builders added in more information used to decode the text.

Why are there so many bible " experts" who do not have a clue . The creation story of Gen 1 and gen 2 are from different authors , different traditions , and different " gods" !

This is such a stretch!

I know we have to keep things in context, but this is self explanatory, the first group of people could eat as they please, but the second group of People they couldn't of everything, they could eat of everything except from tree of life and death and of good and evil, this is two different group of people, Genesis 1:2 was a flood it says and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And in Isaiah 45:18 says he didn't create it that way, Amen.

So, if Adam received the breath of life from God, does that mean when Eve was inside of Adam, she received the breath of God then?

why use that handsign....what are you trying to communicate?

Chapters and verses were added long after the text was written, and by people outside of the culture in which the text was written. I think that in a way skews our modern view of these narratives. The author(s) surely didn't view it as chapters 1, 2 and 3.

Why in chapter 1 God created man and woman and said to be fruitful and increase in number. But in chapter 2 when God created Adam and Eve they was naked and felt no shame? Why was there 2 different commandments from God? Was this perhaps 2 different people? Or 2 different times?

Genesis 1:29 KJV And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 2:16-17 KJV And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Either there is error or these not same stories

You missed the structure between genesis 1 and 2 as two different creation entities. You used the term God in Gen 2-3.. but God is not mentioned, God is only mentioned in Gen 1. In this video you should have used "Lord God" as the new entity introduced in your research. This will help you understand the different rulers in the bible as there are many.

Verse 1 gen 1, God created, verse 2, everything was void and with out form, but the bible says he is light and in him there is no darkness, it also says the angels rejoiced at the creation, so what happened? Was there man on the earth before Adam? Who did Cain marry? When did Satan fall? Before Adam and eve? What cities were destroyed before Adam and eve if they were the first and only people? How thou art brought down, the destroyer of cities? Is it possible that the earth has had many civilizations before Adam? Were there angelic being on the earth before man loving on all the planets?

I thought this was about chapters 1 and 2, chapter 3 came up a lot. My opinion is that chapters 1 and 2 are not the same people.

I would have liked more fact based analysis, maybe starting with the two jewish tribes and their different myths that they merged when they were started assimilating into one. Nothing against this opinion in particular but it feels like random reasoning, especially when presented with a self-satisfiction smiling.

The Sources of the Creation Stories I begin with a simple question: According to Genesis, in what order were the land animals, man, and women created? This “simple” question has two different answers. According to Genesis 1:24-27, God creates the land animals (vv. 24-25), and then man and woman (vv. 26-27). However, in Genesis 2:7, God creates man, and then in v. 19 creates animals, and in v. 22 creates woman. Thus, the commonly heard idea that Genesis 2 is an elaboration upon Genesis 1, filling in various details, does not work-the two accounts tell different stories. Credit:Prof. Marc Zvi Brettler

There were many re-creations though the Bible just says two.

7:50 Serpent a her?

The question is why is the creation of man in God's image coming out as a consequence of sin? genesis 3:22

Why do you call the serpent “her?”

where did Cain's wife came from? After Cain killed Abel so there were only 3 people left. Adam, Eve and Cain. Cain was expelled from garden of eden and met his wife and built city of enoch and named it after his son

There’s so much confusion Because God forgot to create Proof-reading and Editing before he got people to write it … There’s a lot of unnecessary repetition in the Bible and so many people use mental gymnastics to not see the errors . Especially a book that is meant to be “gods Word” aka the ultimate truth … And don’t get me started on the revised and updated versions when in the bible itself it says: Revelations 22:18 to 22:19 But I guess that’s just one of those “ parables “ or “I’m reading it out of context”

Old Covenant Creation...New Creation in Christ....Genesis and John's gospel both start with "In the Beginning...."

Geneis 2:4 is a sequel talking about the garden of Eden rather than creation at large.

Stars were created on the 4th day according to Genesis. Pardon my ignorance. I wonder how can the mornings and evenings happen before the creation of any stars.

One thing I still don't understand is why Genesis 2:1 through verse 3 was not put into the end of Genesis Chapter 1. Chapter 2. should really start out with: "This is the history of the heavens and the earth.." Also, the continuation of Gen 2:3 is found in Gen 5:1. Anything in between is a tragic story of man's continual downfall, ending with Lamech sin weighing 70 times more than of Cain murdering Abel. Gen 5:1 continues the story of "image" of God. There is also a prophetic numerology going on in these tragic chapters of Gen 2:4 through the end of Chapter 4. Cain's curse is 7 fold, Lamech's curse is that of Cain, times 70, which equals to 490... This number later becomes significant in the history of Israel bearing its sin and the arrival of the Messiah (also see Daniel 9:24). Chapter 4 ends with "Then men began to call on the name of the Lord."...

*Genesis chapter* 1 26 And God said, *Let us make man in our image* , after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day *GOD made mankind on the 6th day.* *GENESIS CHAPTER* 2 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, *and all the host of them.* 2 And *on the seventh day* God ended his work which he had made; *and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.* GOD took a full days rest, just like HE took on a full day's work (7 days a week exist) After HIS day of rest(the bible does not specify exactly when)(young or old earth at some point 👇) HE creates Adam and gives this one specific instructions. HE is taking all bio to this specific Adam so he can name them. Adam is also handing down laws i.e marriage, ect. The "Let *us* create man in *our* image" is a microcosm of HIS plan for the salvation of HIS creation. *Genesis* 5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, *and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.* On a side note: GOD calls all Adam, when GOD is telling Noah/Adam who HE is gonna destroy HE says man and beast. You would think it would say "i will destroy women and men" , but it states men and beast, why would CREATING POWER(the Big Bang if you will💥🌎🌞 🌚🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕 💫🌟✨💭🐍🐒🐴🕷🐪🐙🦀🦂🦁🦃🦐🦄🌪🦈🦏🦑🐀🐎🌳🌲🌴🌿🌵🌾🤵🤷👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👹)put words together like that? The "serpent" was another human, not an actual snake! :) We have the book of hell in hell, but THE HEAVENS/LAMB will guide us back to PARADISE/HIMSELF❤ MAY THE LORDGOD OPEN THE HEARTS OF THE TRUE, SPIRITED, SOULS ❤

I’m trying to look for what day and month god finished creating. Like the seventh day. Some websites say October 23 I think and when you look up timelines, there’s a website that says September 8

There is not two different accounts. There is only one account about creation in Genesis. The added chapters are simply expanding on the same event. CREATION.You'll notice that all the events mentioned fit in together Like a Jigsaw puzzle that paint fuller, clearer picture. Nothing complicated here.

Creation Day Six in Chronological Order (Gen 1:24-26; 2:4-3:24; 1:27-2:1) 🤫

What I feel is that chapter one was were giants and dinosaurs were created the plants were different. In chapter 2 was were Adam and Eve were created with smaller plants and animals. In chapter 5 verse 2 it says that Adam was a race with male and female. Eve was a help meet for Adam. There is no contradiction. When Adam was being thrown out of the garden, he stated don't throw us out least the others will kill us. So there were other people made in chapter one.

I don't know how those "Theologians" are interpreting all this. But in chapter 2 it is just a breakdown of "all the intricate details of chapter one. Further when understood in depth we see clearly that when All original pre-flood peoples are made on Day 6, married, given dominion over the world, it is revealed to Adam, that they populated the whole world: HAWILAH (Americas), KUSH (Australia), AZZHUR (pre-Eurasia), NOD (Africa). Bringing with them knowledge of the plants, gardening, herbs, fruits, astronomy, and animal caretakers. Like what happened to Adam, became farmers, city builders, upon leaving the EDEN Realm. Hmmm. Very educational, and, NOT! pre-historic upstarts!

There is a great book entitled " Genesis Misunderstood: The 7 Day Theory" that wonderfully explains the difference between the two chapters. Genesis 1 is not about creation at all.

Simple: there aren’t two accounts. The “first account” is God ordering the Cosmos, the second is God ordering Eden

Nice but why two stories? Why not tell the entire story. He, the author, structure of the narration. Sounds like a mythology or saga. There's a reason there are two stories, most likely there is a part we've lost but when the Torah was constructed people were familiar with this lost section so would notice it redaction, so couldn't be removed completely.

There is no verse in ch 1 that says a tree is forbidden

Can someone explain how in genesis 1 god started creating animal on the 5th day but in genesis 2 he created man before all animal of the earth?

It is only of humans that Genesis 1 does not specify any material source. From a pedestrian secular reading, this would be taken to be a simple absence of information as to their material source. But a Hebrew Priestly reading knows better. It also ought to know better even of v. 1: 1. the general cosmos and the special Earth. 2. The Earth, as its own general subject, implying that which we all intuit is most valuable about the Earth unto itself in all the cosmos: its abiding maximal abundance of open liquid water. 3. that water and its special relation to the Sun's light, hence the water cycle; 4. The water cycle and its special beneficiary and member, biology; 5. biology and its special category, animal biology (plant/animal/mineral = animal); 6. Animal biology and its special category, human; 7. The man and his wife (Genesis 2:21-23) In this seven-fold recursion, we can see a suggestion even that Man and Woman are not to be created at the same time, but, rather, at respective times, and with very particular respective and complementarian purposes. The sevenfold recursion shows that even Genesis 1:1 is entirely concerned that, since we humans are the creation of the Living God, we not only are not insignificant, we are the central value both of the entire account and the entire cosmos. More so, this recursion fits Genesis 1's conspicuous lack of mention only of humans' material origins. This (A) poses humans as transcending the Earth and (B) anticipates the completion forward of Genesis 1. Per the 7th recursion, this is fulfilled in the ending portion of Genesis 2 (vs. 18-23). The merismus in v. 1 is not---repeat, not---a 'fancy' Hebrew surrogate for 'everything'. Yet it rightly serves that purpose. And, as shown by this recursion, its best service of that purpose is that within its own more deep purpose.

That was not the most high in the garden it was that anunnaki. The most high doesn’t walk in the cool of day. And no man or angle can stand before him and live!

Can anyone tell me why a allmighty and omnipotent god made a foolish, weak and flawed human (Adam) and added a likewise flawed female (Eve)? And why did he create the heaven and the earth and life? Did he have an outburst of creativity? Was it a school project? Was he feeling alone? Did he feel the narcistic need to be worshipped? Did he wanted a good laugh planting the tree of knowledge (not to be touched, because knowledge is evil), and see what was going to happen? Certainly he planted the serpent next to the tree , as god made everything? Is satan also an experiment of god gone wrong? Or was satan there all the time, like god, thus perhaps being a god himself. God does not like satan but apparantly is unable to get rid of him... there goes omnipotency. To me it seems like God is a flawed god.

Adam was certainty not 1st man. Scripture means what it says & says what it means. So when Jesus said from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female’ also.. ‘he which made them at the beginning made them male & female’.. Gen1:1 Mk10:6 Matt19:4 Mk13:19 Heb1:10 This act to which Jesus referred was: ‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male & female created he them & God blessed them’, & God said to them, “Be fruitful, & multiply, & replenish the earth, & subdue it: & have dominion over the fish of the sea, & over the fowl of the air, & over every living thing that moves upon the earth & God said, Behold, I have given you EVERY. ( Yes here it says every read all inclusive ) herb yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, & EVERY tree, ( Yes here it says every read all inclusive) in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.” Gen1:27-29 But when God made Adam and placed him in GARDEN God was very specific ; And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: ] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Genesis 2:16-19 Adam was specifically told v2:17 not eat of Tree knowledge of good and evil. Gen1 and Gen2 are separate accounts. Time betwixt 2event unspecified Jesus was clear also. For He did not say from time of Garden He made Adam and Eve. But rather Jesus spoke on this wise. from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female’ also.. ‘he which made them at the beginning made them male & female Not Adam and Eve, not from the time of garden. Jesus meant what was said and said what he meant Adam and Eve were not in the creation... accept that scripture means what is said and says what it means

You didn't even touch the questions why the cap 1 of creation is so different than the one is cap 2? Why in chapter 1 God creates the man and woman there is NO mention of garden or ANY command from God, God blessed them to increase in number and fill the earth...and it ends with God rested on seventh day and everything was good....NO mention of the FALL? It is a very different creation story and there is a reason. Oh and in first chapter Sabbath day is mentioned and that God rested and blessed it, but in the next creation story, in chapter 2 and 3 there is no more Sabbath day? Or even mention that the sixth day of creation ended? And in the chapt 3 God actually cursed the humans and snake, where in first He blessed humans and there is no snake or drama of any kind? Why don't you see God wanted to test the humankind He just created, (in chapter1) and the humans fell the test? Thus God had to come down between us in human flesh so he can die instead of us to give us Salvation? Now we have to pass His second test, the final test before destruction of this created world, and that test is us repenting for our original betrayal of God and turning completly back to Him and asking Christ Jesus to save us from the sin and ask Him to give us The Holy Spirit to be reborn as God's children.

Waiiiiittt a minute - I love these videos but did he just refer to the serpant as 'HER' like twice or three times??? SUPER CONFUDSED.

Why do you refer to the serpant as "her"?

Chapters 1 and 2 were different oral traditions spoken separately from one another. These stories were eventually all written side by side. Most likely during the Babylonian exile. So when viewed as such, there's going to be inconsistencies.

There aren't 2 creation accounts in Genesis! Chapter 2 is merely an explanation of the creational acts God did in chapter 1. In chapter 1 we are told what God did...His creative acts. In chapter 2, we are told in more detail how He did it. Get your facts straight if you are going to try to explain them. Thank you 🙏🤗
