Document Summary
Genesis is the first book of the pentateuch, the first section of the jewish and the. The seven-day creation story is in genesis 1:1-2:4 and it tells of a god whose mere word produces a beautiful universe in which human beings are an essential and important part. While genesis 2:4b-3:24 can be seen as the second creation story with the creation of adam and eve and the garden of eden. 2:4b-3:24, stories have a lot in common yet they also have a lot of differences. Chapters 1:1-2:4 is considered the creation story because before the creations made there was only god. God creates every thing by speaking, the power of the spoken word. It is made very clear that there is only one god and he is the one who creates nature. However nature is not divine, god is above nature.
