Not sure what good it does to try to interpret the English version.
Well then. Does Genesis 2 put the creation of animals after Adam, or what?
First you tell people to read the passages, then you tell them not to.
Of course, you should read it. But that's a double edged sword, because to truly 'read' it you'd have to learn Hebrew.
Also, the order doesn't matter, as the first section is 'foreshadowing' or a 'condensed explanation' as long as the result is the same.
Also, there is an accompanying book to Genesis called the book of Enoch. (also Job was the first book NOT Genesis.)
There is a backstory, even before the creation, you should read it.
How can a condensed explanation put things in a different order? The very least I expect of a condensed history is to get things in order.
Also, I'm not sure how you can call a paragraph(s) a story. Considering they're in the same chapter of the same book.
(Actual chapters were added later, the chapter is genesis and the book is the old testament.)
Complete non-sense.
As if writing things in the wrong order made more sense thousands of years ago.
they're in the same chapter of the same book
So what?
It's entirely possible that Genesis 1 and 2 were written by different people, and later placed together.
