The creation account was probably written on two tablets. [1]
It was signed [2] ▸ ± Ge 2:4,5 ¶ 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, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground. [3]
The end of the account is usually considered to be 2:4, which unnecessarily creates an apparent contradiction of two creation accounts.[4]
The poetic form of the section follows ABCDaabcdA. [5]
The division of verses after v5 is evidence based. The division after v4 is tradition passed from disbelieving Jews and is a Balaamism. [6]
The theme of the creation account comes from two phrases: God said... and it was good. 'God said' ten times paralleling the ten commandments for men. [7]
Each day except day 2 is called good. Day 6 is said to be good twice. [8]

Skeptics claim that two creation accounts differ. This is a Balaamism. They compare Ge 1:1-2:3 with Ge 2:4-25.
Unfortunately, they have not divided the scriptures properly. The first account ends with 2:5 and the second begins with 2:6.
Missing creation [∞]
Others claim that there was another creation between verses 1 and 2. The pericope is complete with v1 being the introduction and the summary. Claimants must presume that verses are just a random collection of facts. The structure says the facts are intentional with an introduction to the body (v1); then details concerning the subject; ending with a summary repeating the introduction, as a bookend.. They have used myth and oral tradition to shed doubt on God's word. This is a Balaamism.
- ↑ ELTB TT Creation [∞] God wants everyone to know him. He gave Adam a language so that they could talk then told him how he created everything. It looks like God may have given Adam two tablets with the story of creation on them. He wrote the story in his kind of poetry. God's uses ideas, rather than words, to make his poetry. No matter what language you read it in, you can see the poetry. Look at our simple poetry: Jesus loves me this I know, <-'Know' rhymes with 'so'. Call this sound 'A' For the Bible tells me so. <- This is also 'A' Little ones to him belong, <- This is a different sound. Call it 'B'. They are weak but he is strong. <- This sounds like 'B' So it is 'B' also. The poem is a pattern of sound or rhymes: AABB. Lets see God's poetry. The first idea is 'the heavens and the earth' A: Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The idea looks like it may be here, but 'to give light...' separates 'heaven' and earth', so this gets a label 'a' because it is similar but different: a. Ge 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. It is also here: a. Ge 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, It is also here: a. Ge 2:4 ¶ ... when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, The perfect repetition of the idea is here: A. Ge 2:4 ¶ These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, Now fill in the gaps of ideas for the poem: B. Light: Ge 1:3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. B. From light: Ge 1:14 ¶ And God said, Let there be lights [from light] in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: C. Waters: Ge 1:9 ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. C. From water: Ge 1:20 ¶ And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. D. Dry ground: Ge 1:9 ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. D. From dry ground: Ge 1:24 ¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. Now the poem looks like: ABCDaaBCDAa When you start to see God's poetry, you begin to know his heart. The aa separates the two tablets. God repeats himself so that you know the order to read the tablets. God makes sure we understand that the final Aa closes his poem which began with A and not a since the A is before the plants and herbs here: Ge 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. Did you notice that all seven days of creation happened in one day? Ge 2:4 ¶ 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. Everything in his poem from the first A to the last A happened in a day! Now there's a riddle for you. The next tablet begins in Ge 2:6 Ge 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. It repeats the idea that there was no rain in v.5: Ge 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.

- ↑ Balaamisms [∞] Balaam ( ▸ ± Numbers 22-31 ) was a prophet who was hired to curse Israel so thet the enemy king; Balak, could conquer them. Each time he tried, God controlled his mouth and he blessed them. Finally he told Balak that to conquer them, he would have to make them get God angry at them. He suggested that party girls be sent in, and when they had sinned, God would no longer protect them. The rouse was used to separate them from God. The first time a rouse was used for this purpose was by the serpent in the garden. "Did God really say?" was sufficient to allow the wickedness in the heart of Eve to take control. John warns us against the doctrine of Balaam. The doctrine might be stated as "Seed doubts in the Word so that your enemies do not trust God and get blessed by him." The Jews believed they were inoculated against their Balaamisms because they were the chosen people.
- ↑ Gen 1 and the ten commandements
- ↑ Not a good day [∞] Did you know that in the creation story of Genesis 1, though we say God created all things good; and this is true in the summary after it was finished, there is one day that was not good. Each day except the second day was said to be good. Do you know why? This is an exercise to help you think like an ancient Hebrew. Second day
