MODULE 2: SESSION 8: The Structure of the Eden Narrative
Generally Genesis 1 sets a foundation of what ought to be done and/or created while Genesis 2 is the filling up of what was spoken in Genesis 1. Genesis 2 is like the act of layering over the already set truth. Further, the indication that there was no man to till the ground…
