The difference between the first and the second account

From my point of view, the first account is well-organized and written in process. He created things by speaking. It takes six days of creation. First day, God created light, therefore, the earth had day and night. On the second day, he created the sky. Third day, he created the sea and dry land. He created sun, moon and stars on the following day. Fifth day, he created fish and bird. Last, he created animal and people. The sequence of creation is from vegetation to human. In this account, God didn't seem to have any feelings. He seemed to be a fair God.

In the second account, God created everything in a day. He created things not only by words but also by breathes, forms, builds and plant improvization. The way narrator wrote is like a story. It is not in a process like the first account. The sequence of creation is man, vegetation, animals and woman, respectively. In addition, God seemed to have feeling like human. He sympatized that there was only man on the earth so he created woman and took a good care of him. Also, this account gives feelings of inferiority of woman.

  2. You have some very perceptive, concise comments, Chanida! I would like to encourage you, though, as I would everyone, to keep an eye out for errors in grammar and in parallel structures.
