The first cosmogony comprises eight distinct creations: 1. Light. 2. The firmament. 3. Dry land. 4. Vegetation. 5. Sun, moon, and stars. 6. Fish and fowls. 7. Land animals. 8. Man. The second comprises four creations: 1. Man (Adam). 2. Trees. 3. Animals. 4. Woman (Eve). 11. In the first, the heavens and the earth are created in six literal days. In the second, no mention is made of this six days' creation. On the contrary, the writer simply refers to "the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens" (ii, 4). 12. In the first, God, from his throne in heaven, speaks earth's creation into being. "God said, Let the earth bring forth, ... and it was so." In the second, God comes down on earth, plants a garden, molds man out of clay, breathes in his nostrils, makes woman out of a rib, makes birds and animals as a child makes mud pies, and brings them to Adam to see what he will call them. 13. In the first, man at the creation is given both fruit and herbs to subsist upon. "Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, ... and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat" (i, 29). In the second, he is given fruit alone for food. Not until after he sins and the curse is pronounced does God say, "Thou shalt eat the herb of the field" (iii, 18). According to this writer the use of herbs and grain for food was a consequence of man's fall. 14. In the first, man may partake of the fruit of all the trees. "Every tree in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat" (i, 29). In the second, he is not permitted to partake of the fruit of all the trees. "Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden" (iii, 1). "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it" (ii, 17). 15. In the first, "God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament" (i, 7). When moisture was needed "the windows of heaven were opened" and water discharged from the reservoir above. When enough was discharged "the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained" (viii, 2). In the second, when moisture was needed, "There went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground" (ii, 6). 16. In the first, man is given dominion over all the earth. "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" (i, 26). In the second, his dominion is confined to a garden. "And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and keep it" (ii, 15). 17.
