NASB | Genesis 2:19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 2:19 So the LORD God formed out of the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. |
Bible Question: The order of creation question: In Genesis 1 God creates the creatures then man. In Genesis 2 God creates man then the creatures. Which is it? Is God creating a new batch of creatures after Adam is in the garden, out of the garden soil? Should "And" be dropped and it assumed that 2:19-20 are a parentesis and that we should read the chronological progression to be 2:18 then immediately to 2:20? Scholars, what does the Hebrew reveal? |
Bible Answer: showalter: I am no "Scholar" however it is my understanding that one chapter is an overview and the other is more specfic. There seems to be no problem as far as I can see, God created creatures first, then man. Woman cane from man. Adam came from Eve. I am not saying mankind as some of the recent poorly translated versiond have so distorted the text. Just to name a few, the New Living Translation. the Message, and perhaps the second worst translation nest to the New World Translation, the TNIV. I am certian there are scholars who might well join in with other remarks. Blessings. Justme |
