After this information, which concludes at the _third_ verse of Genesis ii., strange though it may appear, _another_ account of the Creation commences, which is altogether different from the one we have just related. This account commences thus: "These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day (not days) that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens." It then goes on to say that "the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,"[2:5] which appears to be the _first_ thing he made. After planting a garden eastward in Eden,[2:6] the Lord God put the man therein, "and out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the _Tree of Life_,[2:7] also in the midst of the garden, and the _Tree of Knowledge_ of good and evil. And a _river_ went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted, and became into _four_ heads." These _four rivers_ were called, first Pison, second Gihon, third Hiddekel, and the fourth Euphrates.[3:1] After the "Lord God" had made the "Tree of Life," and the "Tree of Knowledge," he said unto the man: "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_." Then the Lord God, thinking that it would not be well for man to live alone, formed--out of the ground--"every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof." After Adam had given names to "all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field," "the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he (the Lord God) took one of his (Adam's) ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof." "And of the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a _woman_, and brought her unto Adam." "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed." After this everything is supposed to have gone harmoniously, until a _serpent_ appeared before the _woman_[3:2]--who was afterwards called Eve--and said to her: "Hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" The woman, answering the serpent, said: "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, _lest ye die_." Whereupon the serpent said to her: "Ye shall _not_ surely die" (which, according to the narrative, was the truth). He then told her that, upon eating the fruit, their eyes would be opened, and that they would be as _gods_, knowing good from evil.
